00:08so when you open up a video file in lossless cut if it is an mp4 file then it opens
00:16without a
00:17problem but if you were to open up an unsupported format let's say for example like wmv then it
00:24does open it up but it shows an error saying that the file is not natively supported and preview may
00:31have no audio or low quality just like this and final export however will be lossless with audio
00:38you may convert it from the menu for a better preview so you can see that here the preview is
00:43very very slow and if i were to actually play this you can see that it does play but it
00:49is a bit
00:50jittery you can see that it is not very clear so in order to uh preview it uh quite right
00:56what we can do is convert it into a supported format so for that i'm going to go to file
01:02and then i'm
01:03going to click on convert to supported format and what it does is it provides us with different
01:09options like fastest like low playback speed or slowest like high quality encode so i'm just not
01:16going to go around on to uh the fastest one let's go for the slowest one because it gives us
01:23the
01:23highest precision on the conversion so i'm just going to press ok and then it takes some time to
01:28convert so depending on the size of the video file that you have uh the conversion might take a while
01:35because right now what is happening is that it is re-encoding everything up so i've already got a short
01:41video now so it is not taking much time in my case also the encoding depends upon the hardware that
01:49you're using as well so now you can see that it is almost complete and now uh it is uh
01:56complete over
01:57here so now you can see that the file is not natively supported but the preview has been improved a
02:04lot
02:04you can see that the quality has improved much more and it is smooth the video is there so it
02:10has converted
02:10the uh the unsupported format into a supported format so that you can uh cut it out and then export
02:19it
02:19with precision and that is how you can convert unsupported uh file formats into supported file formats
02:26by using lossless cut so if you guys learned something as always and as always please like comment share and
