About MID to MOV Conversion
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.
Why Convert MID to MOV?
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.
Common Use Cases
- Importing MIDI-rendered audio into Final Cut Pro video timelines as native MOV
- Creating audio-only MOV files from MIDI for Apple Keynote presentations
