MOV_RESAVE_CORRUPTED error on submitting app preview

Question

When uploading an app preview to the app store submit process, I receive an unknown error MOV_RESAVE_CORRUPTED which is not documented anywhere in their uploading process. I have captured the preview using QuickTime and had to reformat it using ffmpeg to a 30 FPS video, using this command

ffmpeg -r 30 -i preview1.mov -acodec copy -crf 12 -vf scale=886:1920,setsar=1:1 preview1-edit.mp4

The video is working fine on my local machine but upload won't work.

Frankly, the whole process is very annoying and super stressful. Hopefully I can help anyone else having this problem with this thread. Thank you.

Answer 1

SOLUTION: In my case the issue was the audio encoding, used Handbrake free video tool and ensured the video specs were set to:

Video Codec (FPS) to : H.264(x264) Video Framerate (FPS) to : 30 Audio Codec to : AAC (Core Audio) Audio Mixdown to : Stereo Audio Sample rate to : 44.1 Audio Bitrate to : 256

The app preview videos are working fine now!
