Now that it’s been rewrapped as MP4, I can put it on a mobile device or use it on my Mac. You can google any codec that shows up here to find out more about it. In this case, it’s AVC, which is also known as H.264. The most important line is the Video Format. (Yes, it’s misspelled, due to being translated from French.) If you want to know what type of codec is inside any file, you can right-click on the file in Shutter Encoder’s file list and pick information.

Since I want to rewrap this Flash video as MP4, I’ll pick “to mp4” to have the video copied inside an MP4 file.Ī quick note about the video: Everything is compressed to a particular flavor called a codec. To begin, drag the FLV into Shutter Encoder.įrom the Choose function menu, choose Rewrap. Sadly, the method of FLV conversion described below works only on Flash video files, not interactive Flash games. Hardware devices can’t play everything -they’re limited, unlike a computer. Mobile devices can’t play FLV.įLV, MKV, MOV, and MP4 are all containers they hold your compressed video files. I have some old Flash video files, and I want to rewrap them. Shutter create the snippet I want based on the endpoints I specified, saving the video as a standalone file with _Cut added to the filename. To set my in and outpoints, I scrub with my mouse to find the beginning and end of the section I want, then I hit Apply.įinally, I’ll choose Start Function, which is required to initiate any process.

Shutter Encoder will automatically look for the nearest complete frame, ensuring that when you pick the start/endpoints, they’ll be on full frames. That’s how some video files can be super-small. Web-based video is so heavily compressed that not all the frames have all the picture information that comprises the image, relying instead on reference frames to complete the image. Shutter Encoder shows a warning that it cuts only on keyframes. This enables me to pick the start and end of the snippet. Next, I’ll choose “Change my input and output point” on the right side of the Shutter Encoder UI. From the Choose Function Menu, I choose “Cut without re-encoding.” To begin, I drag the video file to Shutter Encoder’s list window. But I do want to trim it so I’m sending only a small segment. I don’t want to re-encode it, because Zoom videos are already low bit rate. That means it has to be small file, 10-20 MB or less.
Let’s say I want to send a little snippet from a long Zoom recording to my brother, but I want to do it through email. Here are three examples to give you an idea of Shutter Encoder’s flexibility.
With support for more than 50 types of adjustments/conversions, Shutter Encoder should cover most of your video-handling needs. Working with a GUI like Shutter Encoder makes FFmpeg much easier to use. FFmpeg is a command-line interface (CLI) tool used for batch conversion by every site you use to publish your video, such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Shutter Encoder is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) layered over the top of FFmpeg. It’s an open-source tool available free of charge, although the author asks for a donation.
