Permute overview

Permute offers easy-to-use drag-and-drop video conversion.

Features:
  • Easy to Use - built from the ground up, Permute is a perfect example of what a Mac app should be. With a gorgeous interface and drag & drop simplicity no need for complicated options.
  • Insanely Fast - Permute was engineered to be incredibly fast. Let us take care of the hard stuff. Just select the video format you want and it’ll be done faster than you can say "hardware acceleration" - MP4 and HEVC presets now take advantage of your machine's hardware acceleration capabitlities, speeding up HEVC conversions more than 3 times over previous versions of Permute!
  • PDF Support - Permute 3 now includes support for stitching multiple images into a single PDF.
  • Everything Included - It doesn’t matter if you’re converting home movies or processing images. Permute can do it all. We support nearly every format and have plenty of device presets to choose from.
  • Looks Amazing - Whether you use dark mode or not, Permute will look amazing. Taking advantage of the modern technologies, Permute will even change its icon in dark mode.
  • Keep the Schedule - Video re-encoding is quite demanding on computer resources. This is why you can now schedule Permute to convert videos e.g. at night when you're not using your computer.
  • And so much more! - There are so many other great features in Permute - adjust volume of an audio file or an audio track in a video. Batch-resize, rotate and flip images and videos. And more!

What’s new in version 3.11.12

  • Fixed: Issue where forcing 16 bits per sample on HEIC format could result in the image being incorrectly converted from Display P3 to sRGB.
  • Fixed: Certain issues with trimming video resulting in black screen within the first few seconds.
  • Fixed: Issue where certain files could fail to get converted using the MP4 preset.
  • Fixed: Issue where WebP Animation conversion could fail.

The interface needs a revamp. This current one is not pretty and does not work nicely for me. Also, several presets do not result in such a good quality when compared to Handbrake. In the end Permute does not offer anything more than Handbrake, which is free and creates better quality.

Why is this application entitled "Trade-Ins" at the beginning of this web page? Is this a MacUpdate mislabel?

Permute is a pale shadow of ffWorks, which has many more capabilities. Also, the ffWorks staff is extremely responsive.

I wonder why the developer chose such an interface. Horrible to work with and look at. Everything has translucency which makes it difficult to read. Even when you turn off the translucency, it remains very unclear. As for the end quality, it leaves much to be desired for most presets. For example, the HEVC preset gives overly large files of mediocre quality. While the main purpose of HEVC is to provide high quality with small files sizes. Maybe because the default bitrates are the same for all video codecs? I also found errors when converting AAC files. You can hear random peaks/crackles sometimes which is annoying. Conclusion: It is strange that the developer chose this kind of interface. It is counter-productive, frustrating and on top of that the end results are not very good either. There are much better alternatives on the market! For example Roxio converter is a whole lot better.

This really has a very unclear GUI. It's just click and see if it's what you expect. The icons are not only unclear but way too small. Results are mediocre and Handbreak does a whole lot better (and for free). I really can't recommend this app.
