Simply put, I told myself that it would be nice to have an application that, in a single space, in a single window on my desk, would allow me to do all these things. Not only that, when I'm exporting files, for example to send them to a client or publish them on YouTube, I also need to do things that have to do with the workflow, and not only with compression or transcoding. In short, if you're a video maker you have to use (and know how to use) a lot of programs.ĭuring the summer of 2021, I told myself that it would be useful to have a program that could encapsulate the potential I was interested in from all of these apps. Not to mention all the times I have to work with audio, so I've always brought up Adobe Audition or Audacity or Photoshop for photos and images. Over the past 20 years I've used a lot of programs for compressing media files, the application I've always used the most was Apple's Compressor, but in recent times, since Compressor didn't support all of these file types, I've also often used iSkysoft Video Converter and Adobe Media Encoder and on more than one occasion I've taken advantage of VLC's capabilities or even went to the command line with FFMPEG. As I've already said, I'm a video maker and a podcaster, which means that I'm constantly working with video and audio (but often with images as well), and, nearly every day, I have to compress or transcode files from one format to another.
