7. How to speed up video/audio conversion?

There are many factors that can affect the speed of conversion:

The length and the size of the source file.

Settings for output files, such as resolution and video bitrate.

Computer configuration

Here are some tips that can help to speed up the conversion:

  • Open the program and go to "Preference" windows. Then, enable NVIDIA GPU Acceleration, enable Intel App Acceleration and Enable AMD APP Acceleration.
  • Don't run other programs on the computer while converting.
  • The higher parameter of resolution, frame rate the source video has, the longer it takes to convert it. If you want to speed up the conversion, you can choose or customize the Minimum parameters of Resolution and Video Bitrate, but the quality of your video may be affected.

We recommend MP4 format, normally it is the most balanced and stable format.
