How do I convert an FLV file to MOV using LetsConvert?

Upload your FLV file to the converter, select MOV as the output format, and choose your preferred codec (H.264 or ProRes). Adjust resolution, frame rate, and audio bitrate if needed, then click Start. The tool remuxes or re-encodes the video while preserving original data; you'll receive a QuickTime container file ready for Final Cut Pro.

Why should I convert FLV to MOV instead of keeping the original FLV?

FLV is a flash-era container optimized for web playback, but MOV is the native format for QuickTime and most NLEs like Final Cut Pro. Converting to MOV ensures frame-accurate editing, broader codec support (including ProRes), and better compatibility with macOS media tools. For long-form projects, MOV also handles timecode and chapter markers more reliably.

When converting FLV to MOV, what happens to the video quality, alpha channels, and metadata?

Our converter performs a direct remux when both containers support the same codec (e.g., H.264), so video and audio bitrate remain bit-identical. If the FLV uses VP6 or Sorenson Spark, it re-encodes to H.264 or ProRes, adjusting color space to Rec.709. Alpha channels from VP6 are carried over as QuickTime's transparent format; metadata like creation time, duration, and custom tags are preserved, while timestamps are normalized to QuickTime's timescale.
