Original Title: 4K render videos from editing app won’t play on iPhone. Can someone please help with the solution?
iPhone 12, iOS 18
They should play, MP4 is a format that is compatible with an iPhone. Do you have another program that creates MP4 or perhaps download one from somewhere and see if those play? That would at least tell you if there is something in the coding of the DaVinci file that is causing this issue.
MP4 is what's known as a container format and can hold video and audio that can be encoded in different formats, it is possible that DaVinci is saving as an outdated format that Apple dropped support from.
When you save a file, look around and see if there are options to save the MP4 as a different format. See if it has the option to save as video being H.264 with AAC format for audio.
Are you on the latest version of the operating system iOS 18.5?

Make sure you are saving them in a format that the iPhone can read, what format are you saving them in?
You should also reach out to the app developer for help with their software.
Also, since DaVinci runs on an iPhone, there might be an option to save it as a .MOV file. Try that.
thank you for the reply
Well, even the old 4k videos that used to play are not playing back anymore ever since the last few iOS updates.
these are mp4 files.
do you know the settings by any chance?
Yes I’m using the latest iOS
I will check the render settings and re-render and report back
thank you!
You're welcome, good luck!
Ok will do thanks.
I’ll let you know how it goes
