3GP files come from older mobile phones and apps that compress video heavily for slow networks. Quality is low and modern apps rarely accept it. Choose MOV to edit in iMovie or Final Cut, or to keep an Apple-based workflow consistent.

Frequently asked questions

Will the MOV lose quality?

Both formats are lossy, so converting re-encodes the data once more. Using a high quality setting keeps the generational loss very small. Avoid converting the same file back and forth repeatedly.

Does converting 3GP to MOV re-encode the video?

Sometimes: it depends on the codec inside your file, and Smart mode checks this automatically. A typical 3GP contains H.263 or H.264 video with AMR or AAC audio. Otherwise the result is H.264 with AAC audio.
