MOV is Apple's QuickTime container and the native format of the Apple video ecosystem. Final Cut Pro, iMovie, and many Mac-centric production workflows treat MOV as the default, so footage arriving in another format sometimes needs converting before an editor on a Mac can work with it comfortably.
Say a colleague sends you a WebM screen capture or an old AVI file and your next stop is iMovie: converting it to MOV first removes friction. It is also handy when a client or agency specifically requests QuickTime deliverables. The whole conversion runs on your machine, so unreleased footage stays confidential.

No, but it is most at home there. Windows and Linux can play MOV files with players like VLC, yet the format's real strength is seamless integration with Mac apps such as Final Cut Pro, iMovie, and QuickTime Player.
MP4 was actually derived from Apple's QuickTime file format, so the two containers are close relatives with similar internal structure. MP4 became the cross-platform standard, while MOV stayed the preferred wrapper inside Apple's professional and consumer video tools.
Usually yes. Modern versions of Windows and free players like VLC handle MOV playback, though a few older Windows applications may still prefer MP4 or AVI. If you hit trouble, converting to MP4 is the reliable fallback.
