The film
One terrace. Every spatial format.
A side-by-side 180° video dropped on the window, its layout detected, a look around before the export, then MOV, MP4 and the immersive video format in one queue.
With the terrace’s own sound: turn it on with the speaker button.
Features
Drop a video. That’s it.
MV Converter reads what your camera made, lets you change anything, and encodes spatial and immersive video on Apple silicon.
Automatic detection
Stereo layout, projection, field of view, frame rate, HDR and audio, read from the file’s metadata or, when it has none, from the picture itself.
Every setting stays yours
Stereo mode, projection, field of view, bitrates, audio tracks and subtitles: change anything before you export.
Look around before you export
A short preview, encoded with your exact settings. Drag to look around, then play it on Apple Vision Pro to check it in the headset. visionOS 27
Spatial video
MV-HEVC with the projection metadata Apple Vision Pro reads, as MOV or MP4, for 180°, 360° and flat 3D.
The immersive video format
Native .aivu export. On macOS 27, static foveation keeps the center of view sharp at a streamable size.
Every bitrate in one pass
Build an adaptive streaming ladder from a single source, in a single export.
SDR and HDR
PQ and HLG, with colors kept from end to end. Hardware encoding on Apple silicon.
One queue for everything
All your videos in one list, with the progress and the time left for each.
How it works
From 3D to spatial, in five steps.
Version 4.0 · In beta
Convert anywhere. Know where it plays.
MV Converter 4.0 comes to iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro, labels every export High Fidelity or High Compatibility, and shows you both ends of a conversion.
Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro
- One app on four platforms, with the same conversions: spatial video, the immersive video format and High Compatibility.
- Off the Mac, exports land in MV Converter’s folder in the Files app and leave with the share sheet: Save to Files, AirDrop or another app.
- One Premium for every device. Made for iPhone Duo. Agents stay on the Mac.
High Fidelity and High Compatibility
- Every export shows the labels it earns, from what its formats bring, never from its picture.
- High Fidelity: every eye a whole picture, its geometry declared, HDR and spatial audio kept. MV-HEVC and the immersive video format, for Apple’s players.
- High Compatibility: the compatibility mode, now with Apple’s and Google’s metadata, AAC audio and SDR, for the players beyond.
Both ends of a conversion
- The preview now runs on MVPlayer’s engine.
- Play the source itself before anything is encoded, then the clip encoded with your settings, and switch between Input and Output.
- Look around in Panorama, Tiny Planet or Crystal Ball, as in MVPlayer.
2D video, too
- Flat, 180° and 360° 2D videos now convert like any other.
- A 180° or 360° 2D export carries Apple’s and Google’s metadata, so it can earn both labels.
- The source is only read: every export is written to a new file.
Public beta
Join the beta on TestFlight
Try 4.0 before it ships.
Join the beta with TestFlight, Apple’s free app for testing apps before they reach the App Store. It starts on the Mac, with iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro to follow.
A beta can have bugs. In TestFlight, Premium is a test purchase: nothing is charged. Send your feedback from TestFlight or to contact@mvconverter.app.
Also in 4.0
- A failed conversion says so on its card, with the reason.
- A notification when a conversion ends, asked for at your first conversion.
- A conversion that starts scrolls its card into view.
- On iPhone and iPad, the screen stays awake while a conversion or a preview runs.
- A simpler window, with one menu, that fits the screen it is on.
- No keychain password dialog at launch.
Version 3.2 · On the Mac App Store
Your AI agent converts. Every player plays.
MV Converter 3.2 lets an AI agent convert the videos in your Movies folder, and adds a compatibility mode for players that don’t read MV-HEVC.
New
Agents
- An AI agent that supports MCP can inspect and convert the videos in your Movies folder, with the same settings and limits as the app.
- Off by default. It stays on your Mac and only reaches the Movies folder.
- Never deletes or overwrites a file. Ready for Claude Code, Codex, or any MCP client that launches a stdio server.

New
Compatibility mode
- Export side by side or over-under, at full or half resolution, for players that don’t read MV-HEVC.
- With the metadata video platforms and VR players expect.
- Heavier and of lower quality: MV-HEVC stays the recommended format.
The film
Your Mac converts. You keep shooting.
The agent runs on your Mac, and you can talk to it from anywhere. Ask it to download the dailies: MV Converter turns them into spatial video, the agent uploads them, and you get a notification when it’s done.
Imagery created with AI. Agent app and screen content simulated. Sequences shortened.
Also in 3.2
- Videos in the immersive video format exported as MOV or MP4 now become 180° video, following every camera change.
- Better detection of side-by-side and over-under files, and of the metadata they carry.
- High frame rate exports now play at their real speed in QuickTime Player.
- A clearer drop zone, and destination paths written from your home folder.
Compatibility
Works with what you already shoot.
If your camera makes 3D video, MV Converter reads it, and exports what Apple Vision Pro plays.

What does MV Converter do?
MV Converter takes the 3D videos your cameras make, side by side, over-under, 180°, 360° or fisheye, and turns them into spatial video (MV-HEVC with projection metadata, as MOV or MP4) or into the immersive video format (.aivu), ready for Apple Vision Pro.
Spatial or immersive: which one should I export?
Spatial video is MV-HEVC with projection metadata, as MOV or MP4, for 180°, 360° and flat 3D. The immersive video format (.aivu) is the container made for immersive playback; on macOS 27, static foveation keeps the center of view sharp at a streamable size.
You don’t have to choose once and for all: MV Converter exports both from the same source, in the same queue.
Can I check a conversion before exporting it?
Yes. Open Edit and preview: MV Converter encodes a short preview with your exact settings, and you can drag to look around it on the Mac. Editing a setting resets it.
With visionOS 27, play the preview on Apple Vision Pro to check it in the headset before the full export.
What is the compatibility mode?
For players that don’t read MV-HEVC, MV Converter also exports side by side or over-under, at full or half resolution, with the metadata video platforms and VR players expect.
These files are heavier and of lower quality: MV-HEVC remains the recommended format.
What do High Fidelity and High Compatibility mean?
From version 4.0, MV Converter labels each export from what its formats bring, never from its picture. High Fidelity: every eye is a whole picture with its geometry declared, and HDR and spatial audio are kept. That is MV-HEVC and the immersive video format, for Apple’s players.
High Compatibility: the compatibility mode, both eyes in one picture, with Apple’s and Google’s metadata, AAC audio and SDR, for the players beyond. A 180° or 360° 2D export can earn both.
What can an AI agent do with MV Converter?
Turn on Agents and an AI agent that supports MCP can inspect and convert the videos in your Movies folder, with the same settings and limits as the app. The Agents window gives the command to add to Claude Code, Codex or any MCP client.
It is off by default, stays on your Mac, only reaches the Movies folder, and never deletes or overwrites a file. What the agent reads, including file names, may reach the AI provider of the agent you connect.
What’s coming in version 4.0? Can I try it?
MV Converter 4.0 runs on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro, with one Premium subscription for every device. It labels each export High Fidelity or High Compatibility, plays both the source and the encoded clip in its preview, and converts 2D video.
It is in public beta: join it on TestFlight. The beta starts on the Mac, with iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro to follow.
Which devices does MV Converter support?
A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 26 or later. Static foveation requires macOS 27, and the preview on Apple Vision Pro requires visionOS 27.
From version 4.0, also iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 26.4 or later, and Apple Vision Pro with visionOS 26.4 or later. Agents stay on the Mac.
Is MV Converter free? Can I use it commercially?
Every feature is free, with no commercial restriction. Free exports cover the first 20 seconds of a video, one video at a time.
The optional Premium yearly subscription, $17.99 a year, removes both limits; nothing else is held back. Manage or cancel it from the app or from your App Store account settings.
Will my camera’s footage work?
MV Converter is tested with iPhone spatial video, Canon, Insta360, Ricoh Theta, GoPro and more. When a file carries no metadata, MV Converter reads the layout from the picture itself, and every setting can be changed by hand.
How do I watch the result?
On Apple Vision Pro, or with our free player MVPlayer, on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro. It plays spatial video and the immersive video format natively.
Does MV Converter touch my originals or collect any data?
No. Source files are only read: every export is written to a new file. Conversion runs on your Mac and your videos are never uploaded.
