• An easy to use video editor

  ProgrammingKidApril 10, 2014

  Pros

  It makes editing video really easy to do. I switched to this software when doing some simple edits in iMovie became too complicated. All I needed to do was to remove the unwanted part of a video. This software makes it so easy and fast to do.

  Cons

  The main horizontal scrollbar does not have any ticks on it. This would make it easier to remember the start and end of a selection.

  Summary

  It is free. It can convert video files into different formats. I comes with some simple video editing features. It is easy to use. Why bother with iMovie when you can use this. This is some excellent software.

• Best lightweight video editor/utility I've found.

  TMLMarch 9, 2013

  Pros

  Not only does it do conversions, it fixes bad timecode, field dominance, and through standard Mac editing, writes new files of whatever your working on. It even opens up raw, or orphaned, .vob files, and can even join or separate them using copy/paste with Save As... It was particularly handy for opening up old DVD media that I'd recorded cable content on over the past decade or so--with commercials--and it easily lets me set up punch in/out points to remove said commercials, and render a new commercial-free file. Since, by default, it handles audio and video as a single entity, when you open up a file, you're not dealing with multiple tracks, like even iMovie, that require some care to handle properly even when doing simple edits. Its simplicity ends up being its strength, in my view.

  Cons

  Not really a con, but if you need to deal with audio separately from video, then you have to think through the process a bit. But again, if you can copy/paste, you can build a new file with the correct audio/video combination by selecting the appropriate menu option(s) for the work at hand.

• It just works!

  studiofreqJanuary 30, 2012

  Pros

  So far I have been able to convert everything I have needed to into every format I have needed to. It even auto prompts to repair time code breaks when needed. This is only the second product I have ever given a 5 star rating to...and this one is FREE! It could, and should be a "for purchase" product, but because it's FREE I'm listing this under the "Pro" list. Compatible with all major video and audio formats...and most (if not all), non-major formats. Very easy to read and use user interface Let's me add a watermark to the video Simply drag your video into the MPEG Streamclip icon on the Dock and you are in business.

  Cons

  Haven't run into any yet. So far it works better than a few programs I have spent quite a lot of money on...which is why I use MPEG Streamclip and am writing this review.

  Summary

  This program is the most powerful, fast, FREE video trans-coding software I have found. I use this program almost daily for professional application.

• Converts Everything I Want Perfectly

  cedickson1May 7, 2011

  Pros

  Many formats Changes resolution Changes 3x4 to 16x9 both ways Very fast Adjust quality level

  Cons

  None I've found

  Summary

  Far better than anything I've used including QT Pro. Conversions to MPEG-4 are the fastest. Does a really good job increasing resolution from YouTube to TV resolutions.

• Did what I wanted it to do

  carm1chaelFebruary 1, 2011

  Pros

  Free Easy to figure out

  Cons

  Didn't find any, but I only used it for a very limited purpose

  Summary

  I don't have video editing software or QT Pro, so I needed a way to extract a sequence from a larger movie. It was easy to do and worked fine. I can't speak for the other features.

• Really Useful

  OJBJanuary 10, 2011

  Pros

  Does the job brilliantly

  Cons

  Interface a bit cluttered

  Summary

  I use this program a lot to convert between AV formats and it always does the job for me. It's fairly simple to use but has plenty of "expert" features as well.

  nrodriguez55December 14, 2010

• Great for fixing messed-up video

  awatson3November 9, 2009

  Pros

  Works great on my older Mac. Handles everything I throw at it. I also like the warning on the "Advanced" box.

  Cons

  What's not to like?

  Summary

  I just used Streamclip to fix some messed-up DV that I captured over cable... with its field dominance backward. How broadcast video gets this way I don't know, but it has happened to me more than once. I used Streamclip to de-interlace with the field dominance set wrong, then re-interlaced it the way it ought to be. All copascetic!

• Great conversion app!

  twister_1115October 8, 2009

  Pros

  This app makes it very easy to adjust video for other applications such as iPhone or Quicktime. It works effectively and efficiently and very rarely has any problems.

  Cons

  None in my experience, so far.
