The Trial version has a 5 minute limit but I highly recommend you use it to test the software and see if your macbook supports hardware encoding which is what helps to make the video conversion process a quick one.
NOTE: A lifetime full, no time limit version of MacX Video Converter Pro is available now at a 50% Easter discount for just $29.95
Check the Intel Box beside Hardware Encoder then click on the i button to see more info about your macbook’s hardware.
To compress your videos while retaining their quality, click on Video to select videos for compression or simply drag them into the software.
When the videos have been loaded, you’ll be prompted to select your encoding output profile of choice. For maximum compression with next to no loss of quality, I always use HEVC Video. Click on General Profiles on the right and select HEVC Video on the left.
Make sure to tick Use High Quality Engine and Hardware Encoder then click on RUN to commence compressing those videos
From my experience, MacX Converter was able to reduce 5 HD music videos from 287MB to 121MB total file size with barely visible loss in quality.
Videographers who work with large resolution videos like 4K videos on their Mac systems would really find this software useful.
WARNING: Encoding/Compressing videos generates a lot of heat, so endeavor to do this in a well ventilated area preferably a cold environment.
Overall when the software works, it works beautifully well and sometimes it just doesn’t. It would have been better if there was a way to tweak the preset output profile settings so as to get better results when the presets aren’t cutting it.
Has any of one of you used the software before? What has been your experience with it? Do share with us in the comment section thanks.
