About ALAC to MOV Conversion
ALAC stores lossless audio in Apple's M4A container. MOV is Apple's QuickTime multimedia container, native to Final Cut Pro and macOS video workflows. Both are Apple formats sharing the same ISO base media file structure — M4A and MOV are closely related containers.
Converting ALAC to MOV repackages the audio in QuickTime's container. ALAC audio can potentially be stream-copied since MOV supports the ALAC codec natively.
Why Convert ALAC to MOV?
Final Cut Pro and other QuickTime-based tools work best with MOV input. While they may import M4A directly, MOV provides timecode support, edit lists, and frame-accurate synchronization needed for professional video production.
MOV also supports embedding ALAC audio alongside video streams, making this conversion useful when building MOV media files with lossless audio.
Common Use Cases
- Importing ALAC audio into Final Cut Pro video projects
- Preparing lossless audio for Apple video production workflows
- Building MOV files with ALAC audio for broadcast synchronization
- Creating QuickTime-compatible lossless audio files
