When it comes to video processing software, we find a variety of options available on the Internet. Programs like Adobe Premiere Pro provide pro-level tools that allow you to create, edit and modify videos for film production and other professional purposes.
But these programs usually require you to go through a steep learning curve and are expensive too. Most users generally look for simple video editing and conversion software that’s easy to use, pocket-friendly, and yet has the essential tools that you would need to edit your videos. VideoProc is one such software that belongs to this category.
VideoProc Features at a glance
The software consists of four main modules that cover different aspects of video-based media.
- Video: For conversion, editing and modification of video files on your local disk in various formats.
- DVD: For backing up and ripping full DVDs, and storing them on your local disk in 180+ different formats.
- Video Downloader: For downloading online videos from various popular video streaming sites.
- Recorder: Which allows Mac, PC and iOS screen recording with support for system sounds as well as microphone input. (iOS screen recording is only supported on the Mac version of VideoProc).
One of the prominent features of VideoProc is that it allows full GPU-accelerated video processing for faster conversion times. This means, if your computer has a supported GPU, you can take full advantage of it for processor-intensive tasks like 4K video conversion, conversion to HEVC format (H.264 to H.265 conversion), etc.
VidoeProc can automatically detect the CPU and GPU hardware available on your computer and use optimal settings for video processing tasks.
Depending on your output video and audio setting, VideoProc can compress large videos by up to 90% with minimal loss of quality.
