Converter

The Converter module handles format conversion, compression, audio extraction, and batch processing. It uses hardware-accelerated encoding (D3D11 on Windows, Metal on macOS) for fast output.

Supported formats

OmniCut supports 500+ input and output formats, including:

Converting a file

1. Open the Converter module
2. Click Add Files or drag files into the import area
3. Select an output format from the Format dropdown
4. (Optional) Adjust quality, resolution, or bitrate settings
5. Choose an output folder
6. Click Convert

Batch processing

To convert multiple files at once:

1. Add all files to the queue (drag a folder or select multiple files)
2. Apply a format preset to all files at once using Apply to All
3. Click Convert All

Each file can also have individual settings — click any file in the queue to override its format or quality.

Custom presets

Save your frequently used settings as a preset:

1. Configure your desired output settings
2. Click Save as Preset and give it a name
3. Your preset appears in the Presets dropdown for future use

Lossless remuxing

When the source codec matches the target container, OmniCut can remux without re-encoding — preserving full quality and completing in seconds. This is automatically used when possible.

Audio extraction

To extract audio from a video:

1. Add your video file
2. Set the output format to an audio format (MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV)
3. Click Convert

Hardware acceleration

OmniCut uses GPU-accelerated encoding by default:

• Windows: D3D11 / NVENC / AMF
• macOS: VideoToolbox (Metal)
• Linux: VAAPI / NVENC

To disable hardware acceleration (for compatibility), go to Settings → Converter → Use software encoding.
