Video editors and playback systems may require a MOV clip instead of a TIFF still image or image sequence. Converting TIFF images creates a video with a chosen display time for each picture; it does not add motion to a single still.

What the TIFF format is

TIFF is a raster-image format used for scanned documents, photography, print production, and image archives. Scanners and programs such as Adobe Photoshop commonly create TIFF files; the format can preserve detailed image data and support lossless compression.

What the MOV format is

MOV is a multimedia container developed for QuickTime. It can hold video and audio encoded with different codecs, including editing-oriented codecs such as ProRes. MOV is useful when an editor, playback system, or delivery workflow specifically requests a QuickTime movie; compatibility depends on the codec inside the file, not just the MOV extension.

How to convert TIFF to MOV

Online on 101convert.com

  1. Choose the TIFF files to upload. The converter supports batch conversion; check the per-file size limit shown on the page.
  2. Set show each picture for to choose how long each image appears.
  3. Start the conversion, then download the resulting MOV file or files.

Offline with desktop software

FFmpeg is free and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. To make a five-second, 30 fps clip from one TIFF, run:

ffmpeg -loop 1 -framerate 30 -i input.tif -t 5 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mov

Replace input.tif with the source filename. For a numbered sequence such as frame-0001.tif, frame-0002.tif, use ffmpeg -framerate 24 -i frame-%04d.tif -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mov; FFmpeg reads the files as consecutive frames.

Adobe Premiere Pro is a commercial option for Windows and macOS. Import the TIFF files, place them in order on a sequence, and adjust each still’s duration on the timeline. Choose File → Export → Media, select QuickTime as the format, then export.

Quality and compatibility

A single TIFF becomes a static picture for the clip’s duration; multiple TIFFs can form a slideshow or image sequence. The FFmpeg commands above encode with H.264 and convert output to 8-bit 4:2:0 color, so high-bit-depth or fine color information in the TIFF may not be preserved. Choose an appropriate codec in the editor when the receiving workflow requires a different codec, such as ProRes.
