Start conversion and review Status and Progress.

Encoding choices

Auto keeps the preset codec; choose another only when needed. Source keeps original size. Faster presets encode more quickly; slower presets can improve compression. Higher Video bitrate increases quality and file size. Lower CRF quality values increase quality; the displayed guidance suggests 18–23 for H.264/H.265. If a hardware encoder is unavailable, select an available encoder and validate again.

Container options

Faststart improves web playback. Copy streams avoids re-encoding when supported by the container. Deinterlace handles interlaced source footage.

Edits

Crop frame uses Position X / Y and Size W / H; leave position blank for no offset. Preset chips fill these values. Trim range defines the exported interval; a blank end means the remainder. Rotation uses 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Burn renders subtitle text into the picture; Copy retains a subtitle stream where supported. The original input file is not modified.
