TRAINING DESCRIPTION

In this session, we will compare three popular video compression software packages – Apple Compressor, Sorenson Squeeze, and Telestream Episode – to see what they do and how they do it.

Join master trainer, Larry Jordan, as he compares each package, examines their strengths, weaknesses, tours the interface, and shows how they accomplish common tasks. The purpose of this webinar is not to pick a winner, nor show how to optimize specific settings, but to provide a common ground of how each works, its specific benefits, and operation.

In this video tutorial, you will learn:

• Basic compression guidelines
• Strengths and weaknesses of each application
• How to create custom compression settings and destinations
• How to automate compression using Droplets or Watch Folders
• And much more
