How to edit WebM video files on Mac?

Join.me exports screen recordings in WebM format. I can play WebM files using VLC but I can't edit them. Searching for a solution brings up hundreds of spamware 'video converters'.

Is there a simple way to edit WebM video files on MacOS?


Solution 1:

You can actually convert your WebM video directly in VLC:

  • Open the conversion screen with Shift-Cmd-S
  • Drag the WebM video into the screen
  • Select a target format your video editor supports
  • Click on "Save as file"

Afterwards open the generated file in the video editor of your choice.

Solution 2:

I searched 'webm' on the Mac App Store and found this free app:

4Video Quick Video Converter https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/4video-quick-video-converter/id765334104?mt=12

And it worked.

The settings are tricky, you have to add the file, then click the small MPEG4 icon to the right to change the output settings.
