Features

Import your video, create a Watch Folder

Grab video files from your computer and they will be placed in the batch window, ready to encode. Try creating a Watch Folder. Any files you drag into the folder are automatically encoded based on the settings you choose. Total automation.

Choose a Preset, add Filters, Publishing & Notifications

Presets are professional recipes used to apply encoding parameters to a job. Add Filters, Publishing Options destinations and Notifications by dragging them into the Preset. When you drag the Preset onto an imported file, all of the settings you selected are applied.

Detail Oriented? Go Crazy with Professional Settings

Tweak every conceivable encoding setting under the sun. Gain amazing levels of control for any Preset by utilising Squeeze's well-documented sliders and knobs.

The Preview Window

View your Source files before you encode. Split the screen to preview before and after filters. Add Markers to define a poster frame (thumbnail), key frame or video still. Deal with Aspect Ratio, Zoom and Crop. Queue up an encode preview and check out your settings before launching a full job.

Ready, Set, Squeeze It

Drag your Preset to the batch window and onto a source file. Apply presets either globally or to individual source files. Drag as many additional Presets over as required - Squeeze supports multiple encodes. Add Notifications & Publishing Options destinations to any Preset.

Send a Review & Approval Request to anyone, anywhere

Add Sorenson 360 as a Publishing Options destination, and each encoding job becomes a full workflow involving clients, bosses and colleagues. Sorenson 360 creates a page from which your team adds threaded comments, all of which are preserved with the video.

We all know how encoding a huge file can peg your processor… Which makes it difficult to use your computer for anything else for a while. Why not get your workflow under control and send jobs to Squeeze Server? You can do that right from the batch window.
