It can perform simple non-linear video editing tasks, such as cutting, rotating, flipping, and combining multiple videos into one file with transition effects.[5] It can also create photo slideshows with background music.[6] Users are then able to upload these videos to YouTube.[7]

Freemake Video Converter can read the majority of video, audio, and image formats, and outputs to AVI, MP4, WMV, Matroska, FLV, SWF, 3GP, DVD, Blu-ray, MPEG and MP3.[6][8] The program also prepares videos supported by various multimedia devices, including Apple devices (iPod, iPhone, iPad), Xbox, SonyPlayStation, and Samsung, Nokia, BlackBerry, and Android mobile devices.[9] The software is able to perform DVD burning and is able to convert videos, photographs, and music into DVD video.[10]

The user interface is based on Windows Presentation Foundation technology. Freemake Video Converter supports NVIDIACUDA technology for H.264 video encoding (starting with version 1.2.0).[11][12]

Important updates[edit]

Freemake Video Converter 2.0 was a major update which integrated two new functions: ripping video from online portals and Blu-ray Disccreation and burning.[13][14] Version 2.1 implemented suggestions from users, including support for subtitles, ISO image creation, and DVD to DVD/Blu-ray conversion.[15] With version 2.3 (earlier 2.2 Beta), support for DXVA has been added to accelerate conversion (up to 50% for HD content).[16]

Version 3.0 added HTML5 video creation support and new presets for smartphones.[17]

Version 4.0 (introduced in April 2013) added a freemium 'Gold Pack' of extra features that can be added if a 'donation' is paid.[18] Starting with version 4.0.4, released on 27 August 2013, the program adds a promotional watermark at the end of every video longer than 5 minutes unless Gold Pack is activated. Version 4.1.9, released on 25 November 2015 added support to Drag & Drop functions which was not available on prior versions.[1]

Since at least version 4.1.9.44 (1 May 2017), the Freemake Welcome Screen is added in the beginning of video and the big Freemake Logo is watermarked in the center of the whole video.[citation needed] This makes the free outputs useless and users are forced to pay money or stop using it.[according to whom?] Version 4.1.9.31 (11 August 2016) does not have this restriction.[citation needed]
