MP4 compression simplified
Get H.264 video compression from all Adobe video apps quicker than opening Media Encoder, with Battle Axe Anubis.
Anubis
Export and compress quick MP4s from Adobe apps with zero concern for bitrates.
Rule the underworld and banish hatred for Media Encoder. Be at rest upon the sacred mountain.
You are my density
You are the channeler of vision and creator of the video. Each day you share your progress with clients and collaborators.
Something small like creating an MP4 should be simple, but each Adobe app uses a different method of exporting and compressing MP4s, each relying on Media Encoder.
Click to export and compress into a beautifully small MP4 packed as densely as an imploding nebula.
Note: Anubis uses FFmpeg under the GPL license – source code
Return to the infinite
Freedom in simplicity
Your decision-making ability is finite. Reduce your options and work hard on things that matter, not compressing an MP4.
The power of Anubis comes from its limitations.
Drop it down low
It is easy to fall in love with the Anubis compressor. In addition to compressing renders, it is also possible to re-compress video files and gifs by dropping them into the panel.
Naming Tokens, new in v1.1
New in v1.1, Naming Tokens are a set of short letter combinations following a $. Based on the file naming system from Cinema 4D, it is possible to create a sequence that will generate dynamic names and folders for all your renders.
Token Insert
Next to the File Name field, there is a little [v] button. Inside, view some of the more common tokens available. Click to add it to the end of the file name. These are not all of the supported tokens, just a few of the most commonly used.
