Automatically detect your cuts
You need to recover the cuts from a video file, that you no longer have the editing ? Use the "Cut detection" function that will do it for you, recover an ".edl" file to integrate it into your software or to export the cuts without performing compression.
The simple and powerful renaming
When you need to rename a large number of files it can be very long. By right-clicking on the selected files, you can rename as easily as quickly a very large number of files.
Create subtitles simply and efficiently
The "Subtitling" function offers you the possibility to create your subtitles easily from any video. Use shortcuts to maximize your closed caption speed.
Burn your subtitles to your format
You can add .srt subtitles format with ease in multiples video formats. With a simple and clear overview you can define font, color and size.

Record, create, share your settings
When you are satisfied with a setting, save it with the keys "Ctrl + S" to PC or "Cmd + S" to MAC, you can reuse your settings by selecting it. You can contact me if you are missing a video or audio codec, i will provide the file to drag in this window.
Send your files to ftp server
By right-clicking on a file in the Shutter Encoder list, you can send your files to a remote ftp server. If you enter the ftp parameters before a conversion, once your file converts it will be sent to the server. You can choose to receive a confirmation e-mail if you wish.
Check your file information
By right-clicking on one or more files, you will have access to all informations about your files and you can easily compare them.
