Common problems and fixes
- A video shot on an iPhone is heavy – especially 4K or HDR. For a smaller file, choose 1080p or 720p.
- The picture is rotated – check the result and rotate it in an editor if needed.
- HDR footage can look duller after conversion, because the colours are adapted to a standard display.
- Conversion in the browser is slower than in desktop software, and files over 500 MB are not accepted.
Quality tips
If the file is too big, trim it on the phone before converting. Short videos convert faster in the browser.
