File Types Explained for Video Editors 🎞️ MP4 Of all the video file extensions out there, this is the universal standard. By default, I’d say it’s the most popular. It's supported by all devices and platforms, has a high video quality and small file size. However, it suffers from Bad editing performance due to the high compression. MOV Developed by Apple, MOV is the best video format for all Apple devices. It also works well across Windows, though its very large file sizes can be difficult to work with. But, of course, with large file sizes comes excellent quality. It’s the standard for professional video editing AVI AVI was Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s MOV in the war of the video file formats. It offers great video quality and is compatible with most browsers and devices. However, the file sizes are huge and compatibility is decreasing for video editing. WMV Another one developed by Microsoft, this was the successor to AVI. It boasts better compression than even MP4 can offer. It offers high video quality and is actually one of the smallest video formats. But it loses quite some quality when compressed and it doesn't offer great compatibility with other systems than Windows. MKV MKV is the best video format for storing various different codecs and information inside one container file. It supports unlimited picture, audio, and subtitle tracks, and can store large amounts of files. But it also loses quality when compressed and it doesn't offer great compatibility with other systems than Windows. tldr, just use .mp4 or .mov.
