VideoProc is a basic software converter and even more so for editing, that lives in a sea of basic converters. If your looking for more advance editing, you need to look beyond this one. The two that come to mind are the free version VSDC Video Editor and not free Sony Vegas, but Vegas will also cost you ten times as much over the VideoProc offered here.
There a lot of pluses to this program. The big stand out is it's speed. It's one of the best at converting videos fast. User interface is easy to figure out, along with finding the settings and configuring everything. I converted a old 240 resolution video to 1080 and even removed some of the noise that was in it. Like I said, in a sea of converters, this one is among the top contenders. For that reason, I'm keeping it to use at those times I need to do something quickly! Thanks to GOTD and VideoProc for the offering

I had VideoProc 3.5 installed -- I had to delete the C:\Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Roaming\ VideoProc folder before v. 3.9 would activate.

Importing a .m2ts file [AVC encoded Blu-ray video] into VideoProc, selected H.264 encoding, then clicked the star on the H.264 icon/thumbnail to get to the encoding settings. Then clicked the Tools tab on the bottom, clicking Trim, and selecting a ~5 minute clip. The CPU = Ryzen 2700, NVMe drive for output file, AMD RX470 GPU. At default settings, 1080p frame size, AMD hardware assist selected, got around 112 fps encoding -- without hardware assist got ~124 fps. Per MediaInfo the encoded files were pretty standard -- a few converters skip some of the post processing options to give a faster encode at the cost of quality.

I did however have a hard time setting the encoder to variable bit rate [VBR], which in VideoProc is called ABR [Average Bit Rate]. With hardware assist on, it reset itself to Constant Bit Rate [CBR]. Trimming the video reset it to CBR -- re-setting ABR disabled the trim, so the entire video would be encoded. VBR/ABR uses a lower bit rate for "quiet" scenes, with a higher bit rate during action where it's needed. VBR has been pretty standard since DVDs came out, giving max quality for minimum file size.

Starting up VideoProc was also annoying, since you have to wait for the ad to pop up for upgrades, and that apparently requires the app to contact the home base servers, which today sometimes took quite a while.

As with most of these ffmpeg-based converters, VideoProc is self contained -- it doesn't install Direct Show filters or anything -- with few registry entries, and files in just 3 folders: the program's folder, and 2 in C:\Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Roaming\.

It did a fine job converting a bunch of MKV videos with embedded subtitles to H264/AAC MP4's, much faster than any of the other converter tools I've used.

One minor complaint: if you're converting a video with embedded subtitles you have to hit the "Subtitles" button (after you've added the video to the conversion queue, it's the rightmost button on the block that represents that video). It'll bring up a screen where you can check the "embedded" box, otherwise the embedded subs will be dropped and not appear in the output file.

DEFINTELY a keeper, it produced good quality video and it's FAST.

This is actually a very nice application Fairly user-friendly, nice-looking interface, converts from and to a good number of file and device, types, and even converts to gif and does a fairly good job editing, as it says, such as cutting, trimming, cropping, etc..
It does have a minor nag at start-up.
It's a keeper for me and I have used it for months.

We own an older Sony a33 camera that records at 1080i. It can record RAW footage, and has these i/o connectors: USB miniB, HDMI, HDMI type C minijack. I discover all the MP4’s I’ve been making are jittery until I met VideoProc in the previous giveaway. It convert to 1080 progressive or even 4K very good. Nice the see the new giveaway. The hardware accelerated processing algorithm to edit and convert video is much faster.
