New in Movavi Video Converter 15.1.0 (Dec 22, 2014)

  • Ability to set automatic computer shut down after conversion
  • New preset for iPhone 6 Plus
  • Conversion to MKV with VP9 codec
  • Major bug fixes
  • Various improvements
  • New editing features:
  • The new version of Movavi Video Converter offers even more opportunities to edit and improve your video before conversion. You can flip video horizontally or vertically, manually choose crop areas, improve the quality using automatic filters, and overlay text and image watermarks.
  • Extra options for working with sound:
  • If the sound level in your movie is too low or too high, you can easily fix it: just set the desired volume level before starting the conversion. If your clip has big differences in volume, e.g. very loud music and quiet speech, the new volume normalization feature will come in handy. Note that you can change the sound volume in SuperSpeed mode without re-encoding the video track, and, as a result, almost instantly and without loss of image quality.
  • In earlier versions, when converting video with multiple audio tracks, you could only transfer one track to the converted file; now, you can transfer up to 16 tracks (depending on the format you choose). You can transfer audio tracks in SuperSpeed mode without re-converting the video track as well. This feature will be a boon for those using video to study foreign languages.
  • Working with images:
  • Movavi Video Converter now supports image file conversion. You can convert images in many popular formats into GIF, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and PNG. See the list of supported image formats
  • In addition, you can now convert images to video! Still pictures are transformed into 5-second video fragments as if by magic. You can also join images together, including with video clips.
  • Converting video to GIF:
  • Animated GIFs are getting more and more popular on the web. Using Movavi Video Converter 15, you can create your own GIF animations from video clips: you can choose between a number of ready-made presets with different image sizes.
  • Improved support for 4K Ultra HD video:
  • Now you can not only convert 4K Ultra HD files to a lower resolution, but also convert 4K video from one format to another.
  • Support for more formats and codecs:
  • We’ve implemented conversion to M4A audio format with AAC and ALAC codecs. For WebM format video, we’ve also added support for new codecs: VP7 and VP9 – for reading, and VP9 – for writing. See the full list of supported formats and codecs
  • HTML5 presets:
  • If you often post videos on your website or blog, you’ve probably heard about HTML5. The challenge with this standard is that you need to upload video in three different formats to your server because different browsers use different formats. In the new “HTML5 Video” preset group, you will find presets for MP4 (H.264), WebM, and OGV formats.
  • Presets for upscaling video:
  • If you want to watch your family videos on a big screen, you may be disappointed. Old recordings often have relatively low resolution, while modern TVs and monitors support video resolution up to 4K Ultra HD. The device you play the video on will resize the image appropriately, but the quality of the image will likely suffer. To avoid these problems, you can convert your video to a higher resolution using special presets in the latest version of Movavi Video Converter. Thanks to optimally chosen resizing algorithms, the video quality may even improve.
  • New presets for mobile devices:
  • We are constantly updating the list of supported devices and adding ready-made presets for the latest models. In v15, you will find presets for iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note Pro, HTC One mini 2, LG G3, Nokia Lumia 1520, Sony Xperia Z2, new consoles – PS4 and Xbox One – and many other devices. We’ve also added presets for Lenovo smartphones and tablets, as well as for popular brands of TVs. See the list of supported devices.
  • Extra optimization and greater usability:
  • Now you can minimize the video converter to the system tray. This reduces the CPU load so that you can continue working in other programs while the conversion is in progress. Additionally, you can always pause the conversion if you need to complete a resource-heavy task and then resume it once the task is complete.
  • Other improvements:
  • When converting video and audio, meta data (artists, date of shooting, etc.) is automatically transferred from the original to the converted file.
  • We’ve also added the ability to choose the encoding when adding subtitles. This can help to avoid problems when adding subtitles with encoding that is different from the system encoding.

  • Movavi Video Converter 14 uses leading-edge video processing technologies and delivers increased stability, efficiency, and performance. We’ve completely redesigned the conversion engine, giving you an increase in speed of up to 5.4x over the last version.
  • Optimization for multi-core processors lets you convert multiple files at one time thanks to load distribution across processor cores. Now conversion requires less computing power, and you can keep working on your computer while the conversion is ongoing.
  • New SuperSpeed conversion mode:
  • You may frequently find that you only need to change the format of a video without changing any other parameters to make it suitable for your needs. For those users who don’t want to wait hours for the full conversion to finish, we have added the option to change video formats without re-encoding files. The new SuperSpeed conversion is almost instant – up to 79 times faster than traditional conversion methods and lets you preserve the original video quality.
  • Support for even more formats and codecs:
  • Movavi Video Converter is acclaimed for its extensive media format support. And now it can handle even more formats and codecs! The list of input formats has been extended with the addition of SWF, RM, and MXF. Plus, now you can convert 4K Ultra HD files. And there’s no longer any need to install additional codec packs – all required codecs are included with the program.

  • New smart presets:
  • You don’t need to adjust video parameters manually to get the best results. The new automatic presets for the most popular formats use optimal parameters automatically, enabling you to preserve maximum video quality. Manual adjustment is still available, and all preset settings have become even easier and intuitive, so you have total control over the end result.
  • With the new smart resize options, you can change video resolution and aspect ratio without worrying that your video will be stretched or distorted.
  • Support for multi-channel sound:
  • Movavi Video Converter 14 supports the creation of video files with multi-channel sound. You can use up to 5.1 sound channels using PCM and Vorbis codecs, as well as preserve any multi-channel sound from the original video and transfer it to the output file without re-compression.
  • Choose subtitles from any video:
  • Until now, you could only choose subtitles when converting DVD-Video. This option has now been extended to common video files as well.
  • Output video preview:
  • See how the finished video will look like even before you start the conversion! Switch the built-in player between Input and Output modes to make sure the final video will meet your expectations.
  • Redesigned user interface:
  • The Converter interface is now even more intuitive and user-friendly. The file list has been significantly improved: now all the information you need about input and output files is right there. If you work with two monitors, you can now unpin the player and move it to the second monitor.
