Encode Amazing Video

Presets are encoding recipes designed to make your videos look amazing in any format. Squeeze supports almost every popular video format and we're constantly adding more. Professionally modify your Presets down to the most minute detail with ultimate control-- or simply use the 'auto' expertise of Squeeze's defaults.

More than just formats...

Every Preset can do more than just apply video + audio codecs + encoding specifications when dragged onto files in the batch window. You can also add video Filters, Notifications and even Publishing Options to your preset for a speedy, automated workflow.

Filters

Filters

Global Filter: Auto Crop Deinterlace

All videos passed through Squeeze (Global Filter) are checked for auto-sizing (Crop) & interlaced video (Deinterlace), to eliminate size issues or jaggies, the combing effect that can occur on Web video-- which as a rule is Progressively displayed.

Tons More Professional Filters

Use any of Squeeze's 20 professional video & 6 audio filters to improve quality across your compressions. Common uses include: adjusting Gamma, Restoring Blacks, Sharpening, Reducing Noise or Watermarking video. Use Squeeze's A | B slider to preview Filters before applying.

Publishing Options

Publishing Options

FTP, HTTP, AWS, CDN, & YouTube

Drag a publishing destination onto any Preset. Then, when you apply that Preset to a source file, Squeeze will automatically publish to your destination as part of the encode job. Let Squeeze do the heavy-lifting by automating your workflow to the greatest extent possible. You can even create custom Publishing Options destinations, too!

Sorenson 360

Every copy of Squeeze 8 (except Lite) comes with a complimentary 1-year Sorenson 360 account. This enables you to publish to the 360 content management system-- then manage your videos online, create playlists, customize Flash players, get teal-time analytics & and deliver high-quality video worldwide at any bit rate.

Notifications

Notifications

Set It & Forget It!

You got us… We'll admit encoding really big HD video can take a while, even with speedy Squeeze. Relief is here. Set up a Notification. When the job is done, Squeeze will send you an email or a txt on your phone. Easy.

Review & Approval

Need to get videos approved by your clients? You can reliably trust Squeeze to provide a consistent, high-quality video playback experience. Set up a Review & Approval in Notifications. On encode completion, Squeeze sends an email, which leads to a secure Sorenson 360 page, with or without password-protection, where approval & comments are made.

Preview Window

The Preview Window

Adjust, Mark, Preview

Change Aspect Ratio, Crop, Zoom, Trim or Set thumbnail images for your videos easily. Use Squeeze to seek & search through videos in the Preview Window. Use markers to identify discreet sequences within the scene (Chapters for DVD, Blu-Ray). Get your files just right before you drag a preset over and Squeeze It!

Filters

Super-useful A | B slider capabilities enable you to compare before | after application of Filters to your videos. Apply a preset to your file and preview any filters vs source.

Batch Window

The Batch Tree

Ready, Set, Action!

You've carefully crafted your x264 preset with a filter, a publishing destination in Amazon S3 and a text Notification to your phone. Now, drag it onto video files you’ve imported into the Batch Tree. Open the jobs up and customize their contents. Ready, Set, Squeeze It!

Compression Preview

Perhaps the most time-saving button on the Squeeze interface. The gray button next to each Preset provides 5 seconds of compression preview from the playhead. This enables you to see your results before starting a long job… Use it before any / every compression!

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.

There is a reason Squeeze is the Industry leader and perennial award-winner. Tweak every conceivable encoding setting under the sun. Gain amazing levels of control for any Preset by utilizing Squeeze's well-documented (see the Tooltips!) 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. Squeeze is designed to be flexible and powerful, so let’s Squeeze It!

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.
