Hi, DKA55,

Import your .mov files into iMovie and then share (export) it out. iMovie shares out all movies in Mp4 format at all settings except for Best Quality (pro res). Best Quality (pro res) shares out a .mov file.

You can also use the free download, Handbrake, to convert your .mov files to Mp4 before importing into iMovie. You can get Handbrake here:

https://handbrake.fr/

A simple way to do it is to open Handbrake and do a File/Open Source. Navigate to your video and choose it as the source from the resulting screen. Then do File/Start Encoding. Wait a couple of minutes for the conversion to complete. Then save and import the converted clip into iMovie.
