Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Handel. I'm a videographer. And I give Adobe Encoder a four out of five. For more reviews, like this click below. So we had Final Cut Compressor before we used Media Encoder and both have their trade offs. But we ultimately ended up switching to Adobe Media Encoder. So we switched to Adobe Media Encoder because of really the dynamic link. It can link with all the other Adobe Suite products. It links with Premier, After Effects, InDesign. It really helps you render out the files in a robust software. Final Cut Compressor was all right. It did cover a variety of formats. But actually, Media Encoder covers more formats than Compressor does. Media Encoder was intermediary difficulty. I mean, we came from Compressor, which really simplified the UI. But Media Encoder does take some getting used to. You have to navigate the top bar menu and look for presets to implement. And you have to search for specific renders that you want to use. So it is quite difficult to use, but a couple YouTube tutorials should help you out. So before switching to Adobe Media Encoder, I do recommend that you use the other Creative Cloud applications like Premier Pro, After Effects. And then you can actually integrate with Media Encoder. It's not really a great standalone software, although it can work like that. And Compressor works better on Apple, and Media Encoder is going to work better on Windows operating systems. So I recommend you use Windows as well.
