Understanding MOV files

What is a MOV file?

Apple's professional video format used in Final Cut Pro

The MOV file format is one of the most common multimedia containers. It was developed by Apple and is the main file format of their QuickTime Movie codec. It is now fully-compatible for both Macintosh and Windows platforms. MOV files frequently use the MPEG-4 codec for video compression. MOV files may contain audio, video, caption tracks, and timecode information which can be used to synchronize media across multiple devices. You can convert MOV movie files into a variety of different formats. But with Sonix, you don’t need to in order to get a clean, crisp transcript. We accept MOV files as they are and can convert the audio to text in a matter of minutes.

Common Questions

Everything about MOV to SRT

Can I create SRT subtitles from an iPhone MOV recording?

Yes! Upload your iPhone MOV video, Sonix transcribes the audio with word-level timestamps, then export to SRT format. Perfect for adding subtitles before sharing to YouTube or social media.

How accurate are MOV-to-SRT subtitle timings?

Sonix generates word-level timestamps from MOV audio tracks with precision within a few hundred milliseconds. iPhone and professional MOV files with clear audio produce excellent timing accuracy.

Can I import SRT subtitles back into Final Cut Pro?

Absolutely! Export SRT from Sonix, then import into Final Cut Pro as a caption track. You can adjust timing, styling, and positioning directly in your timeline.

How do I add SRT subtitles to my MOV for YouTube?

Two options: Upload the SRT file separately to YouTube's caption settings, or use Final Cut Pro to embed the subtitles into your video before export.

Can I include speaker labels in MOV SRT subtitles?

Yes! Enable speaker detection when exporting to SRT. Perfect for interview footage, podcast recordings, and multi-person content recorded on iPhone or professional cameras.

What's the workflow for MOV subtitles in iMovie?

iMovie doesn't support SRT import directly. Create your subtitles in Sonix, then either burn them into the video using other software, or upload the SRT separately to your distribution platform.
