Importing .MOV files from iPhone 8 to my desktop, using iPhoto?

[leftytoo]

Hi, I'm having a problem importing .MOV files I took with my new iPhone 8 to my desktop, using iPhoto.

iPhoto says it is "Unreadable File", and "unrecognized format". Can anyone help?

You need to find an Apple forum to ask about iphoto

MP4 is a better all around file type for video.   You could use Handbrake to convert your MOV files to MP4.

I'm having the same issue, cant get a .mov file from my iphone into Premiere. Converted it to .mp4 and it does the same thing. Has a video preview, but it's audio only on the timeline. Any suggestions?
