2. What We Liked With HD Video Converter Pro

2.1 Simple and Straightforward user-interface

The installation is easy and does not ask any questions requiring expertise. Immediately launch the video converter, and you will see a menu with options categorized by video, image, and toolbox containing additional tools.

2.3 Several Video Editing features

Trim Video

Often we receive a longer duration video that needs to be shortened. You won’t need a video editor as an HD video converter has an in-built option for trimming the content from both ends. The easier way is through the seek button, which helps trim the start, stop, or both simultaneously. You can also enter the timestamps of the video for arriving at the final length.

The main menu of the video editor has various options in the blue below the video converter information panel. In addition, you can find rotating and crop video menus, adding effects, metadata, and subtitles.

Crop

Eliminate unnecessary parts out of the video using the crop tool in the HD video converter pro. Click on the crop button from home, and a special window will open up. Next, use the on-screen tool to crop the video through the player itself. The other way is through the dialog box by entering the dimensions in pixels.

Effects

The default colors of the video are not always the most scenic and aesthetically pleasing. Like social media, you can add filters to the video through the effects feature. Here we have 19 different effects applying to the video. The left panel has the default video, and the right has effects applied for comparison. You can also adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue using the slider buttons for each. The effects are applied to the entire video, and specific frames cannot be treated separately.

Watermark

Are you a content creator who needs to add a watermark so that it doesn’t get reshared by others without due credit? This video converter has you covered in that regard. Click on the stamp button on the home screen, and the watermark menu will open. Type the text in the dialog box on the left which you want as the watermark. Then click on the plus button to add it to the video. You can resize the text using the markers on the text. The text can be rotated, and its opacity can be calibrated from the slider buttons next to the box. Change fonts and colors, and add shadow through the text menu accessible by the gear icon. Along with text, add images as watermarks through the section at the right. Add any image and set its opacity and position.

Metadata

Metadata provides information about the video or audio file. In addition, it contains details about the creator, artist, album, and other relevant data. Add it directly here to each video and audio file individually.

2.4 Wide range of formats for conversion

After importing a video or audio, click on the output format section on the right side of the converter home screen. It will open up the menu with the formats laid out. There are presets for video, web, 4K, and audio. On top of that, you can select a brand, and the list of its device will appear in thumbnail form. Choose one, and its supported video format presets will be loaded for conversion. Finally, click the RUN button, and the conversion process begins.

2.5 Conversion Speeds – Tested

A fundamental requirement of a good video converter is the time taker for converting a video. Besides having wide format support, saving time is essential when dealing with larger video files running into several gigabytes. In addition, you want to publish or share content quickly, and delays in conversion shouldn’t halt the timeline.

We decided to put HD Video Converter Pro on the track and test how far it can handle. However, before moving forward, please look at the testing device’s configuration to ascertain the capabilities at our disposal.

File Size Formats Time Taken(mins)
15 MB MP4 to WEBM 2 minutes 28 seconds
50 MB AVI to MP4 1 minute 09 seconds
208 MB MKV to MOV 28 seconds
1.4 GB MKV to MP4 1 minute 44 seconds
2.5 GB H265 for MKV to MP4 3 minutes 29 seconds
5.5 GB M2TS to MKV 5 minutes 18 seconds

Our tests have shown that video size is not the primary factor in conversion time. Several other factors, such as formats and internal codecs, play an essential role in the duration of the entire process. The HD Video Converter Pro impressed with its swift operations, offering quick conversion of video files, irrespective of the size.

2.6 Video Downloader

The Internet has hundreds of tools for downloading videos. Unfortunately, most of them have limits and do not offer downloading videos above 720p. Some even reduce the video quality for downloads, defeating the purpose. Here we get an in-house video download that supports YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Vevo, Twitter, Break, and thousands of other websites. It also supports downloading entire videos from a YouTube channel or playlist.

Head to the video download section by clicking the downloader button on the convert’s home screen. Next, click the new download button with a plus sign and paste the video. Different formats and file sizes will be listed. Select one and click on the ok button.

3. What We Did Not Like With HD Video Converter Pro

3.1 No time counter for process

When converting videos/audios into different formats, there is an estimated time remaining counter. It is not accurate, given how the process is not always linear. The video converter doesn’t show the total time to complete a task. Users have to rely on their clocks to time the conversion process.

3.2 Lack of Cloud Support

Video cannot be directly imported from the cloud or any of the online sources. Similarly, it cannot directly be shared online. Few converters offer direct upload to popular social media websites.
