Documentation

From opening your first file to inspecting, encoding, packaging, validating, and measuring the finished result.

Getting started

Install Video Commander
Download and install the desktop app on macOS or Windows, then keep it up to date.
Open your first file
Start a workspace, choose a source, and move between the tools attached to it.

Core workflows

Inspect media
Read containers, tracks, sample tables, HDR, captions, events, DRM, and streaming manifests.
Convert a file
Configure a precise FFmpeg encode, preview the command, and run a short test before the full job.
Package for delivery
Build HLS, DASH, combined adaptive packages, or progressive MP4 outputs from a master file.
Validate HLS and DASH
Find manifest errors, filter findings by rendition, and probe segment reachability before release.
Analyze video quality
Compare an encode with its reference using VMAF, a per-frame timeline, and visual frame comparison.
