VideoProc Converter is your one-stop audio and video conversion application. Capture and convert video from the Internet into a compatible device format. Audio can be converted to over 400 different formats. You can edit, cut, merge, crop, rotate, slow down, and speed up videos with the built-in toolbox. Record your computer screen and webcam in various modes. VideoProc is an easy and fast solution for all levels of users. Read on to have a better idea of all this application can do for you.
The first reason I needed to use VideoProc was to convert a video from one format to another so that I could open it. Not all formats are created equal and some are unusable by my Mac. VideoProc can quickly convert those pesky rare formats into a usable form. The trickiest ones are the older, obsolete formats. VideoProc can handle almost all of these. Simply drop the file into the VideoProc window and choose the desired output format. Press ‘Run’ and watch the progress bar quickly work its way across the screen. You can even do batch conversions by dropping several files into the window at once.
Another task I found useful was to remove the visual part from a clip and convert the video to music for listening. VideoProc will quickly and losslessly extract the audio track from the video and save it as MP3, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WAV, PCM. or whatever. VideoProc is also able to change a video to an image sequence or snap an image out of a video to use as a thumbnail. VideoProc supports video conversions for YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, and other mainstream websites with no further adjustments required as the presets are already there for you.
Another handy tool of VideoProc is the ability to convert video into other sizes and formats. Encompassing 320 video codecs and formats, VideoProc allows you to change video to the target format and make it easy to play. Without any further adjustment, you can play the video directly on your devices after converting. As an example of how easy it is to use, I will walk you through converting video to an iPhone-supported format. First, open VideoProc and click on “Video” on the homepage. Hit “+Video” to import the video that you are going to convert. Next, look at the bottom of the window, and in the “Device” panel, select “iPhone”. Alternatively, you can go to the “Target Format” in the bottom left, where you can find well-organized device formats to work with. Select Apple Device > to iPhone Video, and choose the one based on your device model. Lastly, click the Run button to convert your video to an iPhone-supported video.
I have been using sounds on my computer for over 30 years. As such, I have some very antiquated and obsolete formats. VideoProc can convert almost any audio from one format to another. The process is virtually the same as my previous example. Just open the application, and click “Video Converter” on the main interface. Next, drag your audio file to this software or click “+Music” to manually select it. Select your output format like WAV, WMA, M4R, etc. according to your needs. Click the “Run” button and wait for a few seconds. Presto, you have a converted audio file.
Compressing video can effectively help reduce file size and save computer space. VideoProc supports high-efficient codecs allowing you to compress large video files to the target size while keeping the best picture quality. I was able to compress a 1.2 GB video to 0.8 GB and play it with no noticeable quality reduction. Many compression apps require that you play the compressed file through their app. This is not the case with VideoProc.
VideoProc gives you full editing control. You can quickly add various effects, subtitles, and watermarks to make your video stand out. If you click “Effect”, then you’ll see a window to adjust brightness, contrast, hue, gamma, and saturation. Click “Subtitle” to add (srt, ass, ssa) subtitles from your computer, or search for suitable subtitles online and then add them to the video. With “Watermark” you cannot only add text but also images to personalize your video. You can adjust transparency, position, size, font, and colour, etc. You can cut, crop, change the play rate and so much more. The toolbox provides users with a lot of options, including the most commonly used functions, such as trim, split, and merge. It can help you rotate videos by 90, 180, or 270 degrees and also mirror/flip videos vertically and horizontally.
VideoProc comes with a free downloader engine which lets you download videos, audio, and playlists from over a thousand sites. VideoProc allows you to bulk download media with original resolution and the downloading speed is fast. If you wish to download a full playlist/channel just copy and paste the URL of the playlist, then click “Download Full Playlist” to save all files offline. In your browser, you can search for a movie, a song, a product name or anything you want, get the URL and paste it in. Click “Analyze” and a few seconds later, VideoProc will show you a list of relevant results. Just select the files you need and click “Download Selected Videos” to save them on your computer.
The recording feature of VideoProc Converter AI is free yet versatile. You can record the whole or part of the screen on your computer with HD quality. Click the gear icon on the upper right corner to personalize the recording settings, such as recording quality and whether to show mouse clicks. VideoProc enables you to record both screen and webcam, which is very convenient for you to make professional tutorials, reviews, or presentations for sharing with others or uploading on YouTube.
If you have some DVD movie discs, you should convert these to digital. The CD/DVD external drives are the only means to play these at present and new computers do not have this hardware installed anymore. Quickly digitize your disks into popular formats like MP4, MOV, AVI, etc to play on any modern devices and media players.
There is a very informative online user manual as well as a large video tutorial library. All the uses and functions of VideoProc are fully explained in these tutorials. Click here to download a free version of the application to test out the various functions available. There are some specific functions disabled but for the most part, it is fully functional. The main drawback is that you are limited to a maximum of 5 minutes of conversion at a time. If you have any audio or video conversions that you need to work on, get the free version and try it out. Once you see how useful it is you might end up buying the full unlimited version.
