    Hello.

    Can macOSes (Big Sur v11.5.1) & Mojave v10.14.6) Photo Booth app
    export other video formats beside old QuickTime MOV? An over 2 minutes
    selfie talking video is over 115 MB! Compressing into a zip file
    didn't do much too. :( Does macOS even come with a free video
    converter anywhere or does one have to get a third party? This is for
    Mac users who don't know tech stuff. I even tried QT Player's export
    with Photo Booth's video recordings, but it only lets me save as MOV
    files. Did I miss something? :/

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    I just tried an export and got a 61KB JPEG file.

    I wasn't even aware Photo Booth was capable of exporting (or capturing)
    video.

    Anyhow, if you want to encode video to some other format, Handbrake is
    the standard tool to use. It's free and easy to use. So why not use it?

    Google is your friend.

    There are gazillions of converters out there.
