There’s also a Preset Exchange on the Web for Squeeze users to upload and download new presets, which is a great idea. You can access this menu by double clicking on a preset in the Presets menu or after you have applied a preset in the Job window. I was able to easily make a number of ProRes presets, for example, by duplicating one of the existing QuickTime formats and setting Apple ProRes 422 as the codec under the Video tab of the Presets pop-up menu. And Presets are expandable for select QuickTime codecs such as ProRes. A Favorites tab let’s you create user-defined favorites. They are broken down by tabs: Devices (Apple TV, iPod and iPhone, Mobile, PSP, Wii) Discs (DVD, Blu-ray, audio), Editing (DV, HDV, offline) Formats (Flash, MPEG, MP3, QuickTime, Windows Media) and Web (YouTube, Flash player, among others).
Presets is where all of the available codecs live (see detail, below). I’ve been having mixed results with the newest version of Apple Compressor, stability being the primary problem, so when Sorenson offered to send over a copy of the new version of Squeeze, I was happy to give it a try. While I do want good output from a compression utility, I also want a tool that is stable, functional and relatively easy to use. I’m currently using a modified iPhone preset for a number of HD projects that I am working on and that is producing good results for Web-based client approvals.

There is some trial and error involved in getting the file size to image quality ratio just right, but once it’s close, I tend to stick with those numbers. It’s more about finding usable settings that produce acceptable results for client viewing copies, DVDs or uploads to YouTube or Vimeo.
As an editor and not a dedicated compression artist, I don’t have the time or the desire to dive into that kind of minutiae when it comes to compressing video. I haven’t really done any of those things nor will I look at a specific compressed frame and compare artifacts from different codecs and competing applications for this review. A true compression artist weighs many factors when deciding on bit rate and image size and has studied the different speeds when compressing to different hard drives. Compression is very much a “dark art,” as I have heard it called, with a lot of different factors going into what makes good (and fast) compression. This review of the new Sorenson Squeeze 6 is from an editor’s point of view.
