Ashampoo Video Optimizer Pro is a versatile video editor that enhances picture quality. Videos are optimized in terms of contrast, color, and white balance for better visuals and sharper contours. Shaky footage is stabilized through powerful algorithms. By sharpening and denoising shots, even sub-par video material becomes useful again. Even unfavorable lighting and flickering gets fixed. Built-in batch processing allows you to edit multiple videos simultaneously. Lens distortions, like the dreaded fisheye, are effectively removed with Ashampoo Video Optimizer Pro 2. The program comes with presets for all popular camera models with the ability to create your own. Videos are playable at various speeds, including slowmo and timelapse options. Video and filter effects, like the popular tilt-shift effect, add additional value to your recordings. Texts and watermarks are freely placeable and support custom display durations. Clips can be effortlessly cut, tilted, and rotated in the editor or even merged into single videos. Version 2 features significant speed improvements, especially when used with NVIDIA GPUs. 20 new presets that combine effects with tonal values make for fascinating new visuals. Rotating and cutting clips is now easier, thanks to a new details view, and corners can now be rounded for a more harmonious viewing experience. A thumbnail view now helps with video navigation and watermarks and texts are now freely positionable. Action Cam users in particular will appreciate the new H.265 hardware encoding support.
