Click the link to download the Mac copy of the software and install it following the installation wizard instructions on screen. Step 1: Load source video files from computer into the program Open up the program, you'll see an easy-to-navigate interface where contains all the program's core features. You should have no trouble getting started. Head to top toolbar and select ' Add File' button.

In the dialog that opens, select the location of your video file(s) that you want to convert, and open it. Alternatively, simply start by dragging the movie file(s) and drop them into the program window. Batch conversion is supported, which means you can import multiple files and convert them at one time without a hitch.

Some of you may want to join two or more clips together and export a continuous output video, this Mac video converter takes care of it and includes a ' Merge into one file' option (next to 'Convert' icon) located at the bottom right corner of the screen. Just highlight the video clips you want to combine, then check this option. By the way, under the preview window (see right side) there is a camera icon, which is very useful if you want to get thumbnails from your video and save as JPEG/ PNG/ BMP snapshots. Step 2: Configure output options Select an output format Click the ' Profile' drop-down menu at the lower left side of the interface, this will take you to the output format selection panel, where a large number of formats and presets you can choose from. For example, if you want to, then you can move cursor to ' General Video' category on the left pane, then select ' MOV - QuickTime Video (.mov)' from the expanding list on the right pane. Tip: the first time you launch the program, it has set the ' MPEG-4 Video (.mp4)', the most widely used format on the planet, as the default output for any video conversion. Next, head to ' Destination' field beneath ' Profile' menu to specify the folder on your computer for saving output files, or leave the default path unchanged.

Tweak the conversion settings (optional) For advanced users who wish to further fine-tune the quality of the resulting file, the software offers you lots of such as video Codec, Frame Rate, Resolution, Bitrate and audio Codec, Quality, Bitrate, Sample Rate, Channel. To do this, you just click the ' Settings' button to the right side of ' Profile' drop-down menu at the bottom center of the screen. Technically, the higher the quality setting you configure, the larger the resulting file will be, and the more space it will take up on your HDD. Do note that I wouldn't recommend fiddling with the default settings which are good enough for average users, if you do not know what you're doing. Encoder: describes the method by which the video & audio has been compressed, the most common used encoders includes mpeg-4, xvid, divx, h.264, wmv7, wmv8, wmv9, mpeg-2, etc.

Frame Rate: the number of video frames captured or displayed per second. Resolution: the number of pixels displayed in each dimension on screen. Aspect Ratio: refers to the proportions of the height and width of an image.

The most common videographic aspect ratiOS are 16:9 and 4:3. Bitrate: the number of bits that are processed per unit of time (usually measured per second). The higher the bitrate, the more information is reproduced and so the higher quality the video (or the audio) will be. Sample Rate: the number of samples extracted from the continual signal of the audio file every second. Channels: the audio signal during sound recording or reproduction. Two common categories: Mono and Stereo. Also, if you want to keep the settings you configured manually for use next time, you can hit the ' Save as.'

Button at the upper right corner to create a custom profile, which should display in ' User Defined' category. Select a preset (optional) The program includes a library of presets to tailor your conversion for smartphones, tablets, TVs, game consoles, apps, media players, websites and more.

Step 3: Convert Videos Once everything is set, hit the orange ' Convert' button at the bottom right corner to start converting process. A status window will come up, along with progress bars indicating the progress of the video conversion.

You can check the ' Open output folder' option in the bottom of the window so that it will open automatically when the conversion is complete. Basic Video Editing With the built-in video editor, you can do some basic edits on the video. This will be beneficial if you are cropping inside the video, adding your signature and things like that. You can investigate them yourself to see if they are of any use to you. To do this, just highlight the video you want to edit and clicking the ' Edit' or Clip image button on the top toolbar, then you'll be presented with a window where you can do trimming, cropping, deinterlacing adjustment and adding watermark or special features to your file.
