Sorenson Squeeze 5 is being shipped with the latest versions of Avid’s suite of video editing applications, including Avid Media Composer (v3.5), Symphony (v3.5) and NewsCutter (v7.5) software. Sorenson Squeeze 5 enables editors, producers and filmmakers who use Avid video editing software to easily deliver video in popular video formats, with advanced encoding options and superior results.
 
Sorenson Squeeze 5 makes it possible for users to output content in a wide variety of formats, including Flash, QuickTime, Real Media, Windows Media, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. The software can also encode in HD for MPEG-2, Flash, VC-1 and H.264 formats.

“Sorenson Squeeze has truly become a staple third-party tool within the Avid suite of products,” says Peter Csathy, CEO of Sorenson Media. “This combined solution gives users the ability to edit, compress, encode and deliver their video in all formats quickly and efficiently. Avid is a leader in video production and editing, and Sorenson Media’s encoding and compression capabilities are a natural addition to their exceptional software.”

Through the Avid software interface, video editors are able to send their video files directly to Sorenson Squeeze 5 for encoding and compression without having to export intermediate files. Sorenson Squeeze 5 embraces the long-time Squeeze tradition of producing outstanding video without a complicated workflow. The software allows users to compress and encode multiple files simultaneously, and advanced pre-processing filters produce higher-quality video. The Sorenson Squeeze 5 interface is easy to use, and the optimum workflow allows users to encode video using a variety of custom presets, reducing the amount of time spent on a project.
