Sorenson Media Squeeze Desktop 11 Pro (Upgrade from Squeeze 8/8.5/9 Pro, Download)

Though most NLE applications have some facilities for transcoding video, nothing beats a dedicated solution. Sorenson Media Squeeze Desktop 11 Pro offers wide codec support and fast encode times, and includes new features allowing for more efficiency and support for evolving digital workflows. Squeeze Desktop 11 Pro can be used standalone or integrated as a plug-in with popular NLEs such as Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro 7, and Adobe Premiere Pro.

Transcoding is an essential part of today's workflow, as files need to be delivered optimized for varied display sources, such as smartphones and 4K projectors. With Squeeze, the number of codec choices ensures you'll find the settings you need for most delivery destinations as well as other scenarios. Editors will appreciate the ability to convert to codecs that allow for easier editing in their NLEs. For example, you can convert highly compressed footage, like MPEG-4 files, to a mezzanine codec like Avid DNxHD or Apple ProRes. Alternatively, professional formats which are too big, such as RED files, can be down-converted to space-friendly and processor-friendly proxy files. However, Squeeze isn't just an application with a bunch of codecs but rather is designed with advanced features, such as batch-processing of these codecs.

This upgrade to Squeeze Desktop 11 Pro is valid for existing owners of Squeeze 8/8.5/9 Pro. It is provided as a direct download.
