A few quirky UI choices aside, this app can do an amazing job. Today's example: I had 700 JPGs of various dimensions. SE converted them to an H264/MP4 video in under 10 minutes. Capcut took well over an hour. Twenty other apps I tried failed/crashed or produced garbage. This is one excellent app and worth a donation to the developer.

I've used it a lot for batch operations for my animated gifs, mass crops for videos and other automation stuff. Exceptionally useful and powerful. At first the different options inside the program felt a bit not-layman friendly, but the documentation is excellent and easy to follow. For bulk video operations, this is 5 stars, easily.

Other than that the interface looks terrible, it does have some features that work well. That said, I noticed lesser quality when encoding HEVC. The playback stuttered violently. I never had this with Handbrake. Handbrake is also free but the quality is almost always better than what Stutter Encoder makes.

It can't be the flaw of Shutter Encoder. You clearly had some different encoding settings in Shutter Encoder and Handbrake. They are both the FFmpeg with GUI.

Loving this for audio conversion on Windows. AMR files are a pain, and I love to convert them to MP3.

Love the satisfying "ding" sound when it finishes! Haha.

I had a folder with 685 FLV and F4V files divided between folders I needed to remux or transcode, I tried Handbrake, it didn't recognize the files within the folder, I would have to do one by one manually so that didn't work. I tried Avidemux, the interface was a joke and it closed with errors without even beginning the process. I gave this app a go and wow, super simple! I dragged the files into the input zone, selected the option to repack to mp4, and it even saved with the same file name on the original directories!!!! This application deserves 5 stars, well-done to the developer this just works!
