Why should I convert MOV files for Twitter?

MOV files often use high-bitrate or professional codecs not supported by Twitter, so conversion ensures your video uploads smoothly and plays correctly on the platform.

Will converting MOV files affect video quality?

Converting from high-bitrate or lossless MOV codecs to compressed formats can reduce video and audio quality depending on encoder settings.

Can I keep subtitles or multi-channel audio after conversion?

Track-level features like subtitles or multi-channel audio may be removed or flattened because Twitter supports limited track features.
