PrimeTranscoder has been my go-to app to get the postproduction process moving whether the project is a documentary or an advertising piece I am shooting, and whether in 4K or HD. At Oh Seven Films, we shoot all over the world. I need applications that are reliable and easy to use, and Imagine Products always delivers. Their customer service is incredible, and they are open to suggestions that improve their products.
