Smash Pro is a one-time upgrade that unlocks: • Batch queues • Smart source-aware settings • Exact target size • HEVC and HDR • Custom resolution, bitrate, frame rate, and audio controls • Short quality previews • Storage recovery • Share extension • History • Shortcuts support Smash can preserve capture metadata and lets you decide whether to keep or remove it. Original videos are deleted only when you explicitly choose that option after saving results. Free forever for the essentials. One purchase for Pro. No subscription.
