Magic Bullet Grinder is the smartest way to transcode DSLR/HDSLR footage. Grinder converts Canon video to edit-friendly formats, burns in timecode and generates editing proxies in a single time-saving pass. Use Grinder to work faster and easier than transcoding inside Final Cut Pro 7.

Version 1.5 adds helpful new features for high-resolution output like ProRes HQ and ProRes LT codecs and a frame rate option of 25p or 24p. Proxy files can now use EXIF-based timecode, 1080p output and a custom output destination. We’ve also added customized file naming, Growl notification support and render priority for main vs proxy files.

Grinder 1.5 is a speedy standalone solution that converts video without bogging down your video editing application. Take the tedium out of transcoding and get to the editing you love.

Free Upgrade for Grinder 1.0 owners

Many of the new features in Grinder 1.5 came directly from customers using Grinder in their production workflow. You spoke, we listened. That’s why for current owners of Grinder 1.0, the upgrade to Grinder 1.5 is absolutely and always free.

If you already own Grinder 1.0, please go here to download version 1.5 of Grinder. This 1.5 upgrade requires the same serial number as your version 1.0 purchase.
