Question

I'm using Media Encoder to convert some files from MOV to MP4, but the conversion keeps glitching

Im trying to convert about 170 files from MOV to MP4, at first it was going great, the files were converting and everything was fine. But after about 30 files through it started bugging out, giving me that green screen preview that u can see at the bottom, taking forever, and then eventually failing and moving onto the next one, only to do the same thing. Im trying to edit these clips in a software but it also gives me the green screen glitch, then crashes my software (hence why I'm converting them to MP4) so Im used to seeing this green screen effect. But why am I seeing it here in Media Encoder as well? Why are MOV files such a pain? The videos are recorded with an iPhone (which Im never going to do again after this) but it seems like Media Encoder was doing fine for a while, but then just gave up half way through. Ive tried clearing cache, reinstalling, resetting. But nothing works, why can't I convert these MOV files with ease?

    Also to add to it (since I know someone is going to ask) the error message I remember seeing was something about "bad frames". I don't know what that could mean but that might help. It's just it doesn't make sense why all of a sudden the rest of the videos in the queue are having "bad frames" and giving me that green screen thing. So no I don't think the videos themselves are the problem, I just think it has something to do with the file type interfering with Adobes software.
