Part 1: How to convert video and HD video to WMV video?

Step 1: Import video files
Click "Add…" to import video/audio files or drag the files to the file list window directly. Here below are all the supported imported formats.

Step 2: Customize output settings

Select your desired output format from the categorized output formats list in "Profile" drop-down list, specify the output directory to save your converted files in "Output" drop-down list.

And you can set the related video/audio parameters (resolution, frame rate, video encoder, bit rate, sample rate and audio channel etc) in "Settings" window by clicking .

Step 3: Start conversion
After everything is set up simply hit the Start button. A conversion progress screen will be shown during the process where you can preview the video.  Users of slower systems will probably want to disable the preview as it uses more CPU cycles.

Part 2: Tips to edit WMV video.
Apart from the basic conversion function, you can also do some editing to the video to get your desired video. Hit the Edit button to bring up some editing tools which will be shown in a real-time split screen mode so you can make adjustments to color, saturation, effects, etc. and compare to the original file. Here below are some tips:

 

Tip 1: Trim video
If you just want to convert a clip from a video file, you can click the 'Trim' to capture any clip you want. In the Trim window, you can trim video length either by dragging the Start Time and End Time sliders or by setting the time parameters in each corresponding field.

 

Tip 2: Crop video
Click "Crop" and you can resize the video. You can get the desired size of video for your portable media player or cell phone by selecting aspect ratio, dragging cropping frame or setting the related parameters. 

 

Tip 3: Adjust video effect
You can make some special effect to the video. You will get an intuitive preview of the video effect before and after adjusting with two real-time previewing panes. 

 

Tip 4: Edit watermark
If you want to get a personalized video by adding some information to it as watermark, you can realize it by adding either text or image information. You are also allowed to resize the added text/image.

 

 

Tip 5: Add plug-in subtitle
If you have got some videos with the corresponding plug-in subtitle file (usually in SRT format), you can add the subtitle to the video under "Subtitle" tab.
Note: The source file you import should be MKV file, and the plug-in subtitle file should be in SRT format. And you still have to put the MKV file and subtitle file in the same folder with the same name.
