WebM-VP9
Note: Most browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) use WebM format due to MediaRecorder API limitations. Only Safari supports MP4 recording. MP4 files work directly in editing software, while WebM may require conversion.

If you receive a WebM file, you may need to convert it to MP4 for compatibility with certain video editing software:
- Online Converters: CloudConvert, Convertio, or Online-Convert
- Free Software: HandBrake, VLC Media Player, or FFmpeg
- Professional Tools: Most editing software can import WebM directly
💡 Tip: Adobe Premiere Pro 2020+ and DaVinci Resolve support WebM natively. Final Cut Pro requires conversion to MP4/MOV.
