Spring 2021 - Igloo Encode

Using Igloo Encode

Igloo Recommends the HAP codec and a .mov container for any videos running through Igloo software. Where this is not possible though, Igloo recommends outputting in any lossless format, and transcoding it to HAP using Igloo Encode.

This is due to the HAP codec using the graphics card (GPU) to process the movie rather than the CPU. This stops bottlenecks occurring when playing large resolution videos.

While aftermarket plugins are available for the big video-editing tools, the HAP codec is not often supported as a direct output, so we created our own Drop & Go piece of software to convert any video to HAP.

Igloo Encode comes installed on all IMPs as standard

Drop your content onto the Grey window, choose an Output Directory, and then click Go!

This will create a copy of your movie, converted to the HAP codec. There are advanced Options if you wish to explore them, or if you’ve found the conversion to contain errors.
