The Expression Encoder 4 Pro application will allow you to encode high quality videos for devices and the web, capture your PC’s screen actions for training and demos, broadcast live events with IIS Smooth Streaming and provides Silverlight video experiences with customizable templates. Expression Encoder 4 Pro simplifies publishing video to Microsoft Silverlight.
Prepare video for encoding
Make a range of often needed edits directly in Encoder Pro without needing to go back to a nonlinear editor. Trim in/out points, add additional clips, cut unwanted sections, then add graphic, video or XAML overlays all using a new frame accurate timeline.
VC-1 or H.264 codecs – the choice is yours
Output your video in either industry standard format. The high performance encoding engine supports both multiple cores and multiprocessors for fast encoding with incredibly detailed control over the output characteristics.
Maximize your audience with caption support
Reference your existing caption or subtitle files for playback in Silverlight. You can specify a number of file types (DFXP, SMI, SUB, SRT, LRC) that will be converted to a sidecar file that will maintain any styling in the original file and displays them in our new Silverlight templates.
Software development kit (SDK)
Access all the powerful features of the advanced encoding engine, including the new Live Smooth Streaming and screen capture functionality, through a fully featured SDK for the ultimate in customized encoding.
Expression Encoder is an advanced audio / video-encoding and live-broadcasting application especially suited for generating content that takes full advantage of the rich graphic and interactive capability of Microsoft Silverlight playback scenarios. You can also generate Windows Media video and audio files that are optimized for other web playback scenarios, or appropriate for playback on portable devices.
