One of the hardest things to do when trying to load and promote videos online is formatting them for social media sites, and a program like FLV Crunch for Mac gives users the ability to quickly handle this issue.

Overview of FLV Crunch Mac

It's quite common for someone who wants to be a YouTube personality, or post videos on social media, to spend a lot of money on a camera, only to find out that the videos they've produced cannot be loaded because they're in the wrong format. This is where FLV Crunch can be a life saver. Most services that stream on computers, specially Macs, prefer the FLV format. It is pretty standard. And so with this program, you can simply drop your video into the box and convert it over to an FLV file, which gives you a smaller, portable file size to use on social media without any quality loss.

FLV Crunch was created by ProgrammingKidX and is actually a free converter to use, unlike a lot that try to trap you in with their “free” watermarked versions. It's available for download on the Mac and Mac OS X systems, and its only operating language is English.

How FLV Crunch Mac Works

When you open FLV Crunch, the first thing you're going to notice is that it's very simplistic. In fact, maybe even bordering on unattractive, with how simplistic it is. So when you load a video into it, you're not even going to see a preview screen, just a line of text. And from there, you can pick to which format you would like to convert, choose your frames per second (FPS), and your bitrate. You will then see a percentage calculator as it keeps track of your conversions.

Although this may not be overly attractive, it's simple enough that everyone can figure it out easily. You simply drop your video into the program, select which options you want, and then convert them over to that format.

FLV Crunch Mac Features

One of the best features about this converter is ironically that FLV is far from the only format you can convert into. You can also choose AVI, MP4, and other formats, if you would rather have them. Plus you're going to be able to load a variety of formats into the program, so you don't have to worry about getting any add-ons for that ability.

Other than that, there aren't a whole lot of features about which to speak. By and large, this is a very trimmed down version of an online video converter, and it was made that way so it would be lightweight and easier to use than others on the market.
