MP4
In one sentenceThe standard video file format that plays almost everywhere: phones, browsers, LinkedIn, YouTube.
What it means
MP4 is a container: a wrapper holding video, audio and sometimes captions. The video inside is usually compressed with H.264 (or the newer H.265/HEVC), which is why MP4s are small enough to upload.
AI video tools usually export MP4, and most AI models that can watch video accept it.
How to use it
- When a platform rejects a video, re-export it as MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio. That combination plays nearly everywhere.
- Upload an MP4 to a Multimodal AI and ask for a transcript, a summary, the best clip moments, or a LinkedIn post about it.
- Pull still frames from an MP4 for thumbnails or carousel slides.
