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.
CSV at a glance
CSV
Convert to CSV when data needs to move between tools rather than preserve layout.
It is the standard target for database exports, spreadsheet imports, mailing-list uploads, analytics extracts, and one-time migrations into other business systems.
Use CSV when recipients need a simple table they can open anywhere or ingest programmatically, and avoid it when formulas, multiple sheets, cell formatting, comments, or strong typing need to survive the conversion.
CSV is best when interoperability and machine-readability matter more than presentation.
