The essential tool for converting DSLR video to edit-friendly formats
Magic Bullet Grinder is the smartest way to transcode DSLR/HDSLR footage. Grinder converts Canon video to edit-friendly formats, burns in timecode and generates web-resolution proxies in a single time-saving pass. Version 1.5 adds new features directly from customer requests, which include important Apple ProRes codecs, timecode from camera EXIF data, new 25p conform frame rate, and render priority control. Take the tedium out of transcoding and get to the editing you love.

Takes the tedium out of working with DSLR/HDSLR video
Easy conversion to useful formats
Grinder ships with all the important codecs and specs, with new options that let you convert to ProRes HQ and LT as well as ProRes 4444, Standard and PhotoJPEG. We’ve added an important Frame Rate option to convert footage to 25p or 24p, and added 1080p for proxy output. Use Grinder to generate lower-resolution proxies for easy laptop editing, burn timecode directly to proxies, and swap in full-res versions for final mastering.
New features directly from your requests
Version 1.5 packs in amazing new features that we are excited about. We hope you are too, because the requests came directly from customers using Grinder in their production workflow. That’s why an upgrade to Grinder 1.5 is completely free for Grinder 1.0 owners, and Grinder 1.5 takes its spot in the Magic Bullet Suite. Helpful new features include ProRes HQ/LT codecs, EXIF-based timecode, custom file naming, Growl notification, and render priority for main vs proxies. You spoke, we listened.
