Shutter Encoder

Shutter Encoder is a free, open-source video converter and encoder for PC and Mac. It supports a wide range of video, audio, and image formats, offering advanced control over encoding settings, basic editing features like trimming and cropping, and tools for post-production workflows.

Shutter Encoder is primarily a video converter and encoder, not an asynchronous video communication platform. While it offers some video editing capabilities like trimming and adding watermarks (which could be considered custom branding), it lacks the core 'must-have' features of screen recording, camera recording, instant shared links, and viewer analytics that define Loom's offering. Its focus is on file conversion and manipulation for post-production, not on quick, shareable video messages for collaboration.
