Add-Ons
DNxHD Encoding For Squeeze
Produce outstanding VC-3 Compliant Video Bitstreams. Take your workflow to the next level – post-production is simplified with faster edits on mezzanine formats in HD using Avid DNxHD
Avid DNxHD is a revolutionary HD codec technology engineered to create mastering-quality HD media at dramatically reduced file sizes， shattering the barriers to real-time HD productivity， whether using local storage or in real-time collaborative workflows.
Optimal mastering picture quality
Minimal degradation over multiple generations
Reduced storage requirements
Enables real-time HD sharing and collaboration
Improved multi-stream performance
Supports all Avid DNxHD bit resolutions and frame ranges.
Squeeze with Avid DNxHD transcoding is an invaluable workflow tool.
Extend your FCP workflow with the ability to export DNxHD files for Avid directly from FCP.
Create Avid DNxHD files for Avid editors without having Avid.
Supports all Avid DNxHD bit resolutions and frame ranges.
Apple ProRes decoding / encoding (OSX only)
The Apple ProRes family of codecs provide an unparalleled combination of multistream， real-time editing performance coupled with impressive image quality at reduced storage rates. Additionally， all five codecs preserve SD， HD， and 2K frame sizes at full resolution.
As a variable bit rate (VBR) codec technology， Apple ProRes uses fewer bits on simple frames that would not benefit from encoding at a higher data rate. All Apple ProRes codecs are frame-independent， or “intra-frame” codecs， meaning that each frame is encoded and decoded independently of any other frame. This technique provides the greatest editing performance and flexibility.
Apple ProRes 4444 (Up to 12bit， 330 Mbps)
Apple ProRes 422 (Up to 10bit， 147 Mbps)
Apple ProRes 422 HQ (Up to 10bit， 220Mbps)
Apple ProRes 422 LT (Up to 10bit， 102Mbps)
Apple ProRes 422 Proxy (Up to 10bit， 485 Mbps)
Create Apple ProRes files for FCP editors without having FCP.
Dolby Pro Audio
Need professional audio options? Squeeze with the Dolby Plus Pro Encoder gives you more audio options including Blu-ray certified audio.
The Dolby Pro AC3 codec in Squeeze supports Dolby's surround sound technology delivering high-quality digital audio for up to 5.1 discrete channels. Dolby Pro is the sound for DVD’s successor Blu-ray Disc as well as for HDDVD. It offers significantly better quality in comparison to a similar bitrate than other audio compression technologies (underlying base is the ATSC A52 Revision B specification).
