How to Convert a Video if You Have MacOS

Videos are a part of our everyday life, whether for amusement, interest, or education. But there’s nothing worse than sitting down to view a video only to discover that it isn’t playing. Fortunately, video converters exist to rescue us from any troubles with videos of any format. You can convert everything to the proper format before sharing it with anyone. We’ll go through the best video converters for Mac users.

► Pros and cons of free video converters

Of course, when we think about video conversion, we prefer to do it for free. Especially if we only need to process a single file.
But free converters have both pros and cons.

♦ Advantages

Of course, video processing will be completely free. Also, most converters can work with the most popular video formats and have quite a wide range of features, and are easy to manage.

♦ Disadvantages

The disadvantage of such programs is limited functionality. Since they are free, there are limitations to the conversion possibilities. For example, there are only popular formats, and you’ll end up with a watermark on your videos. And some programs don’t have many tools for editing.

► VideoProc

It’s a little utility for macOS. The program has a small size and no negative impact on performance. It can work with different formats and has a lot of options for that.

♦ Cons:

  • GPU hardware acceleration will enable fast conversion and excellent video quality;
  • It has a number of tools that help with the GoPro converting process;
  • Noise reduction and removal programs can help you enhance the quality of your raw footage rapidly;
  • Splitting, cropping, sliding, combining, fisheye correction, subtitles, and snapshots are among the other capabilities.
