Sorenson updates Squeeze to improve workflow

Fierce Online Video says.

Version 8.5, the company said, is the fastest version yet of the application, and includes an updated feature set focused on improving workflow productivity improvements through the Sorenson 360 online video platform (OVP).

Streaming Media writes that Sorenson has worked with Intel to optimise Squeeze 8.5 to bring extra gains to Windows owners with Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors, as well as others using Intel's Quick Sync platform.

A helpful slider control in Squeeze 8.5 lets owners choose how much of their CPU to devote to encoding, up to 100%.

Squeeze 8.5 significantly streamlines the cumbersome, onerous conventional review and approval process typical of the video production workflow into a few simple steps, Market Watch notes.

"Increasing workflow efficiency for video professionals through faster encoding, transcoding and video processing is a consistent and growing need," said Craig Hurst, director of product management, Developer Products Division, Intel Software and Services Group.
