Convert HEIC to M4V
What is HEIC?
HEIC
HEIC stores single images using HEVC compression. Video requires sequential frames at standard rates. Converting HEIC to video means creating still-frame video (static image for duration) or using the image as video assets—thumbnails, posters, or overlays within editing software that handles frame sequences.
- HEIC stores static single-frame images, requiring frame sequencing for video creation
- Modern format—requires up-to-date software for compatibility
- Single static frame—video requires frame duplication or sequencing
What is M4V?
M4V
M4V video consists of H.264 encoded frames at 24-60fps. Image formats represent single static frames. Extracting images from M4V means selecting specific frames—capturing moments from the video as static snapshots or thumbnails.
- M4V stores sequential frames at 24-60fps, enabling frame extraction as images
- Frame rate (24-60fps) means hundreds of images extractable per second
- Each frame at video resolution (720p-4K) becomes individual HEIC image
