Question

H.264 in .MOV Container

Hi,

My software requires .MOV files coded in H.264.  Older versions of premiere seem to allow the user to select the MOV container format with an H.264 codec.  CC 2015 seems no longer to offer this - instead, H.264 and Quicktime are both listed under "Format" and H.264 exports as .mp4.  I read that often changing the file extension to .mov often works, but I don't trust that trick.  Is there a way to natively export H.264 in the .MOV container in CC without using a third party converter?

    Make sure you have QuickTime installed, especially if you're on Windows where it isn't automatic.

    In Export-Media I can choose QuickTime as the format and H.264 as one of many formats, which will make exactly what you're looking for.
