Why You Need This
MOV is the default recording format for Apple devices including iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. If you record video on any Apple product, you almost certainly have MOV files that need trimming. The format is also widely used in professional video production with ProRes and other high-quality codecs.
Many online video cutters either do not support MOV at all or add a watermark to the exported file unless you pay for a subscription. This is frustrating when you just need a quick trim of a clip from your iPhone before sharing it.
FastCut Pro fully supports the MOV container and all common codecs found within it, including H.264, H.265, and ProRes. You can cut MOV files losslessly in your browser with no watermark, no account, and no file upload. The output is clean, professional, and ready to use.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Step 1: Visit fastcut.cc and drop your MOV file onto the editor.
- Step 2: The editor will parse the MOV container and display the video preview along with the audio waveform on the timeline.
- Step 3: Set your desired start and end points using the timeline handles. Use the frame-step buttons for precise positioning.
- Step 4: Choose your output format. Select MOV to keep the same container or MP4 if you need broader compatibility.

Pro Tips
