There really isn't any difference except the file extension.

Use the Finder to change it from .mov to .mp4.

I am using the film from an iPhone6 which is .MOV. My Adobe Elements programme needs MP4. The .MOV plays in the programme but is shaky. My camcorder film is MP4 and plays well.

I tried to follow your advice and put the films in the video section on the Mac but can't for the life of me work out how to do the conversion in Finder. Please can you elaborate on our answer. I would appreciate it.

many thanks
