Converting MP4 to MOV: what to know
MP4 is converted to MOV when an Apple program or an editing project requires it, for example QuickTime, iMovie or Final Cut, or a platform accepts only MOV.
Usually the video and audio from the MP4 fit MOV and are copied without re-encoding: it takes seconds, and quality and size stay the same. You can also trim or rotate the video there.

What happens when converting MP4 to MOV
If the codecs inside MP4 are supported by MOV, the tracks are copied without re-encoding - quickly and without quality loss. Otherwise the video is re-encoded with the codec, bitrate, resolution and frame rate you choose.
You can also trim the video, rotate or flip it and remove the sound.
MP4 files up to 2 GB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
