Video Commander

The IDE for Video Engineers

Stop context-switching between terminal windows and scattered tools. Everything you need to inspect, debug, and deliver media — in one place.

Built for video engineers, by video engineers.

Deep-dive into any media file

Open local files or remote URLs and get a complete picture of their structure, metadata, and bitstream in seconds.

• Media Info — containers, codecs, streams, and technical metadata
• Tree — full container hierarchy with raw hex dump
• Graph — visual DAG of the structure
• Sample Tables — frame-level timing, offsets, and flags
• Works with local files and any http(s):// URL

Transcode with precision

A clean FFmpeg front-end that lets you configure supported parameters without memorising command-line flags.

• Software and hardware encoders — VideoToolbox, NVENC, AMF, QSV
• Target VMAF mode — automatically finds the lowest-bitrate CRF that meets your quality score
• Video filter pipeline — deinterlace, denoise, sharpen, color, crop, and more
• Resolution, frame rate, bitrate, and stream mapping controls
• Batch encoding — queue multiple files with shared settings
• Preview (30s) — test encode before committing to the full run
• Live FFmpeg command preview before you run

Package for any platform

Go from a master file to delivery-ready packages in one step, with the output options broadcasters and streaming platforms expect.

• HLS, DASH, and combined HLS+DASH packaging
• Multi-rendition ladder configuration
• AES content encryption
• Segment duration and playlist controls
• CDN-ready output folder structure

Measure quality objectively

Run VMAF quality analysis against any source file and get a clear picture of perceptual quality across the full timeline.

• VMAF perceptual video quality scoring
• Aggregate summary with min, mean, and max scores
• Per-frame quality timeline chart
• Export results as CSV or JSON
• Job history — reload and compare previous runs

Play and review with detailed insights

Play local files or remote streams with detailed playback statistics. Opens automatically when a preview or full encode completes.

• Supports MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, and more
• HLS and DASH adaptive streaming playback
• Works with local files and any http(s):// URL
• Auto-opens after a preview or full encode job completes
• Detailed playback statistics and insights

Catch delivery issues before they reach viewers

Check HLS and DASH manifests for spec compliance and delivery problems before they reach your CDN or players.

• HLS and DASH manifest validation
• Detects missing segments and malformed playlists
• Codec and container consistency checks
• Per-rendition filtering with Error, Warning, and Info severity
• Segment URL probing — reachability and latency
