MID (Standard MIDI File) stores musical performance instructions — note events, velocity, timing, instrument assignments, controller data — in a binary format established by the MIDI Manufacturers Association in 1983. MIDI files contain zero audio data; they require a synthesizer to produce sound. Typical file sizes are 10-100 KB.
MOV is Apple's QuickTime multimedia container, widely used in macOS and iOS video production. Converting MID to MOV renders the MIDI performance through a software synthesizer and wraps the resulting audio in a QuickTime container. The output is an audio-only MOV file compatible with Apple's professional video editing tools — Final Cut Pro, Motion, and iMovie.
Apple's professional video editing ecosystem (Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Compressor) natively handles MOV files. When building video projects on macOS, importing MIDI-rendered audio as MOV integrates seamlessly with the timeline, effects, and export pipeline without format conversion within the NLE.
MOV is also the native container for iPhone and iPad video recordings. Rendering MIDI audio into MOV enables it to be used as a soundtrack alongside device-captured video within Apple's Photos and editing applications.
FFmpeg decodes the MIDI file and synthesizes audio using its built-in decoder with a SoundFont-based synthesizer. The PCM output is encoded using AAC-LC (the standard QuickTime audio codec) or ALAC for lossless preservation. The encoded stream is packaged in a MOV container with proper QuickTime atom structure (ftyp set to 'qt ', moov with track and media atoms, mdat with encoded audio). MOV and MP4 share the ISO Base Media File Format lineage, but MOV supports Apple-specific extensions.
MOV is a container that does not affect audio quality beyond the chosen codec. AAC at 256 kbps in MOV delivers transparent quality for synthesized content. ALAC in MOV provides lossless preservation. The SoundFont quality remains the primary factor — a professional SoundFont with expressive articulations produces natural-sounding audio; the default GM bank sounds mechanical. MOV preserves whatever the synthesizer generates.

MID to MOV bridges MIDI compositions into Apple's professional video editing ecosystem. The format is natural for macOS-centric workflows where rendered MIDI audio needs to integrate with video projects.
