If you want to view or edit the metadata of a clip, you can simply select the clip, go to the 'Clip' menu, and select 'Edit Metadata.' Alternately, you can hit Command+2 to bring up the metadata screen. First of all, for how simple the program is, EditReady handles metadata extremely well, and offers enough flexibility to do just about anything that you might want to do with metadata from Quicktime files. Other than the speed and ease of use of EditReady, there are a few other things that set the program apart. The same cannot be said of Media Encoder, which seemingly turns the computer into a giant paperweight while the program is encoding. With that said, I felt like I could multitask with other programs while EditReady was encoding. Of course, that's just subjective observation as I wasn't measuring CPU or RAM usage during the encoding. Other than EditReady being faster than Media Encoder (and way more intuitive to use), it seemed to strain my computer less during the encoding process than did Media Encoder.

However, I ran the clip through this test twice to make sure that the results were accurate, and sure enough, they were exactly the same the second time around. Obviously, this is an incredibly simple test, and it has its limitations in terms of really putting the performance of both softwares to the test.

54 Seconds for ProRes 422 HQ - Clip Size: 1.28GB.

36 Seconds for ProRes 422 - Clip Size: 799MB.

27 Seconds for ProRes 422 LT - Clip Size: 499MB.

1 Minute, 7 Seconds for ProRes 422 HQ - Clip Size: 1.11GB.

58 Seconds for ProRes 422 - Clip Size 784MB.

50 Seconds for ProRes 422 LT - Clip Size: 432MB.

Here are my results as I encoded the clip into 3 different flavors of ProRes in both EditReady and Media Encoder:

The original clip was full HD, and the original file size was 274MB. I used a single 57 second h.264 clip shot on my Canon 60D to conduct my test. However, once I started using EditReady (and comparing it to Adobe Media Encoder, which is what I normally use for all of my encoding), what I found was pretty impressive. It's just that clean and intuitive.Ĭoming into the conversion process, I had been expecting all of my tests to be painfully slow because, frankly, the Macbook is on its last leg.

My guess is that literally anybody could figure out how to use it simply by looking at the interface. With the exception of another basic window that lets you add and edit metadata that can be accessed through the menu or a keyboard shortcut, that's all there is to the EditReady interface, and quite frankly that's a great thing. It's broken down into two distinct sections: one for adding and previewing media, and the other for manipulating the conversion settings. The interface, which is incredibly easy on the eyes, takes functional minimalism to a new level entirely.

I also talked briefly with Mike Woodworth, the CEO of Divergent Media, who's also the lead developer of EditReady, and learned more about how the software was designed, what it can and cannot do, and where it is headed in the future.īefore we get to my thoughts about EditReady and the interview with Mike, here's a brief video introduction to the software.īased on the time that I have spent using EditReady over the past month, there are a few things that I really love about the software, and a few things that could be better. However, after reading about what sets EditReady apart from its competitors, then testing the app for myself, I'm ready to say that the claim is indeed a valid one. In a market that is fairly saturated with transcoding solutions for filmmakers, that is definitely a bold claim, to say the least.

Earlier in the summer, Divergent Media, a software company whose tools need no introduction in the video production world, released EditReady, a Mac transcoding app with a tremendous claim, that it was supposedly the world's fastest transcoder for Quicktime conversion.
