Linux MUSTS (Almost All Nice & Modern UI/UX)
A simple list of Applications I use daily, hopefully you haven't seen all of these before. But, in this list you'll generally find apps that look modern, as UI is pretty important to me. I know there aren't too many "Linux with Pretty UI" lists, so here's this one. Let me know if there are any you'd add!
Video Converters
A list with 7 apps by desbest without a description.
Desktop video compression
A simple list for any desktop video compression, with most simple and less technical at the top, and more technical at the bottom. Though, they all use ffmpeg under the hood, so the actually performance of the compression would all be about the same. Just pick if you want one click -> all the way to -> tweaking every little setting.

Pretty great app you can trust. Documentation has a lot of room for improvement, but simple features or trial and error usually work out! Handbrake is my preference for home and archival use, but Shutter Encoder provides a more professional tool that fits the bill better when quality and metadata are critical.
bad UI, no info on source file, no preset, no persistent joblist. note = 0, i set 1 for open-source
Not "Freeware" if you get a daily nag-screen "asking" for donations. This window (which appears once you close the main window) cannot be disabled with a setting and needs to be manually patched out prior to compiling. I use HandBrake now. I donate quite a lot per month for FOSS projects but it's been a while since I saw such an annoying donation reminder in a program on linux. If ever. I cannot remember another instance of this happening tbh.
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.
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.
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.
