Why Squeeze?

Simplicity
Squeeze's single pane interface allows you to compress video without detailed knowledge of codecs or compression settings.

Quality
Sorenson continues its leadership in video quality giving novices and professionals the features required to "squeeze" quality into every bit. If you want quality, you only need to know one word: Sorenson.

Productivity and Workflow
While keeping life simple for the professional and amateur compressionist, Squeeze also integrates seamlessly with leading video production applications and finished work distribution options. Be it one file or multiple, Squeeze's optimum workflow will minimize the amount of time spent on the compression task.

User Interface
Squeeze's simple to understand layout offers individual customization and shortcut keys where you need them. Squeeze works the way you want it to.

Input and Publish
Sorenson Squeeze is the leader for importing and publishing video to the most popular formats in the video industry. Squeeze can easily import digitized video files, reference movies, or capture from DV cameras. Once inside of Squeeze you can easily publish video into the format of your choice and have it automatically sent to an application, to another location on your network, or uploaded to the web via FTP.

Cross Platform
Squeeze works the same on either Mac or Windows platforms. Learn it once, apply it many times, regardless of your OS preference.
Simplicity

Video compression is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
1. Open an uncompressed video file
2. Select an intelligent preset
3. Press "Squeeze It"

Quality

Achieve the best audio and video quality on the desktop and maximize the impact of your media with Sorenson Squeeze.

    * One-Pass Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compression
      One-Pass VBR compression reduces processing time to non-VBR standards while delivering only slightly lower quality than Two-Pass VBR compression.
    * Two-Pass Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compression
      Squeeze supports Two-Pass VBR, which produces higher-quality video than standard compression while only adding slightly more processing time.
    * High Definition (HD) encoding options
      Squeeze includes High Definition (HD) encoding options for AVC/H.264, Flash, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, QuickTime, RealMedia, and *Windows Media.
    * Audio and video filters
      With Squeeze, users get maximum flexibility with advanced control of audio/video parameters such as:
          o Audio normalization
            Squeeze analyzes your audio to find the loudest sound and then adjusts the audio to maximum volume.
          o Contrast/brightness
            Contrast changes the range of dark to light pixels in a linear fashion. Brightness makes the image lighter or darker. These two filters can improve the compression quality.
          o Deinterlacing
            Squeeze's deinterlacing feature can make your video look better by removing interlacing artifacts caused by the two fields per frame nature of conventional video.
          o Fade in/out
            Fade in/out lets you create a black or white fade segments at the beginning or end of your movie.
          o Telecine removal
            Telecine removal maintains video quality by removing the extra frames that are added (3:2 pull down) when film (24 frames per second) is transferred to video (30 frames per second).
          o Video noise reduction
            The video noise reduction feature reduces video noise in your content without causing it to look fuzzy. Reducing noise can increase video encoding quality.
          o White/black restore (with image smoothness slider)
            Squeeze gives you the option to control the levels of white and black in your video.
