A Simple and Complete Interface

Shutter Encoder is one of the best video converter software, it handles images and audio too!

It has been designed by video editors in order to be as accessible and efficient as possible.

Shutter Encoder makes use of FFmpeg to handle its encoding, allowing support for almost

every codec you’ve ever heard of, and many more you haven’t.

Don’t just take our word for it though, Avid themselves recommend Shutter Encoder

as part of your Media Composer and ProTools ingesting workflow!

Total Control over Encoding

Shutter Encoder has a panel containing a large number of settings.

This includes access to powerful FFmpeg capabilities like

duplicate frame detection, framerate interpolation, analytical tools,

and deinterlacing with a number of filters available.

You don’t need to be an expert in encoding to use Shutter Encoder,

but if you are, you’re going to appreciate the power it gives you!

Trim and Cut your Videos

Thanks to the "Edit media content" window, you can to choose exactly which part of your video gets included in the

output file through an intuitive trimming interface. You’ll be able to see exactly where those cuts will take place with

the built-in video player. With some codecs, you’ll able to do this losslessy and extremely quickly thanks to the

innovative "Cut without re-encoding" feature.

Fine-Tune your Image

Shutter encoder includes a powerful image adjustement tab, allowing you to adjust colours, apply LUTs,

and convert color spaces right in the application, This feature even supports raw image formats like .nef, .cr2

but also .psd, .pdf, .png, .jpg and more!

Powerful Cropping Support

By using the "Image cropping" section you will have the possibility to quickly and easily crop your images

as well as your videos. You can define your frame precisely by writing directly your values in pixels

or simply select a preset.

Generate and Burn-in Clip Information

Shutter Encoder allows you to burn clip names, text, and timecode into your video, perfect for rough cuts and drafts!

You can even specify a timecode offset so it doesn’t have to start from 0!

Subtitle Embedding and Burn-In

Shutter encoder can be used to embed closed captions and burn-in open captions in only a few clicks.

created elsewhere, there’s a way to get it done with Shutter Encoder!

Automatic Cut Detection

an existing video based on where cuts occur. You can even create an .edl file

to import on most major non-linear editing package to produce an editable sequence.

or working on old projects where you don’t have the files anymore!
