MOV at a glance
MOV
Convert to MOV when the destination is an editing suite, a post-production handoff, or a review pipeline that expects QuickTime-compatible containers and production codecs.
It is a good target for ProRes masters, camera transcodes, alpha-capable intermediate files, and mezzanine assets moving between creative teams.
Choose MOV over MP4 when editorial flexibility, codec support, or production metadata matter more than universal playback.
For end-user streaming, downloads, and browser compatibility, MP4 is usually the better delivery format.
3FR at a glance
3FR
Convert to 3FR when preserving original Hasselblad captures or handing files into a Hasselblad-oriented raw workflow.
It is useful for archive retention, color-critical processing, and studio pipelines that need untouched sensor data.
