Step 5: Convert your files

After you have set up all the conversion parameters, hit the Convert Now! button to start converting.

You can visually judge the conversion process if you hit the Advanced>> button.

When the conversion process is over, the information window appears. Depending on the selected format, you’ll be able to open the output folder on HDD and view the result, or transfer the resulting video to a device, or upload it to a website.

The output video converted with the free version does not contain the AVS4YOU logo. Logo will be added to the output video only when you use some editing options within the free version, for example, if you merge several files, use the aspect correction feature, cut out some parts, or apply video effects etc. To avoid adding the logo when editing the video, you’ll need to upgrade the program to the full version. For more details on how this can be done, you can refer to this guide.
