HandBrake is a top-notch video editing tool for locally stored videos on your hard drive. It offers a wide range of options for adjusting formats, coding, and audio tracks. Whether you need to convert videos to a specific format for your PC, smartphone, iOS device, console, or TV, HandBrake is the perfect choice. It also allows you to extract and convert physical formats like DVDs or Blu-Ray discs. The app provides many pre-set formats for popular devices and platforms, including Android, Apple, Playstation, Vimeo, YouTube, Windows, and Matroska. With the capability to rework videos up to 4K resolution and any aspect ratio, HandBrake is a versatile tool. The only downside is that manual adjustments are required outside of presets for dimensions, codecs, cuts, subtitling, bitrate, etc. After making changes, a full preview of the video is available before rendering and saving the final file in the selected location. Handbrake stands out as an excellent free tool in video editing, offering a simple interface with a wide range of features without unnecessary complications.
