ff-Works: Customize Compression Settings [v]

[This is an excerpt from a recent on-line video webinar: “In-Depth Tour of ff-Works” which is available as a download in our store, or as part of our Video Training Library.]

SESSION DESCRIPTION

ff-Works is a front-end to ffMPEG, a highly-regarded, open-source compression engine. When you combine ff-Works with ffMPEG, you get a very powerful, very flexible, very high quality media transcoding/compression tool.  In this session, Larry Jordan shows how to use this software.

Whether you edit using Avid, Adobe or Apple, ff-Works provides features, control and quality that are not available in Apple Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder. This session covers:

• How the interface works
• How to import media and apply existing presets
• How to create custom presets
• How to create files for social media and YouTube
• How to use Watch Folders to automate compression
• How to resize, deinterlace and trim footage
• How to add watermarks, closed captions, and chapter markers

If you care about the final look of your media, you need to watch this session. Larry has already switched to doing most of his compression using this software. This session shows you why.

This short video excerpt illustrates how to customize audio and video compression settings.
