Open .mov files online

To open a .mov file in your browser, press Open editor on the video editor, then bring your file into the project from inside the editor. On 2026-10-13 we opened a 6-second 1280 x 720 test .mov (H.264 video with AAC sound) on anyedit.app and it showed in the source monitor with the right picture and a 6-second length. We cut the clip to 3 seconds in a new sequence and exported it with the QuickTime option. The exported .mov was a valid file with H.264 video and AAC sound, exactly 3 seconds long. Two things to know: the default export is an .mp4, so switch the Multiplexer setting to QuickTime to get a .mov, and our test browser cannot fill the system file picker, so we loaded the file by dropping it onto the editor window; we have not checked the Import button by hand. Nothing is uploaded and there is no sign-up.
