Avidemux

Linear video editor supporting basic cutting, filtering, encoding, batch scripting, and many formats; ideal for single-file edits, trimming, re-encoding, and simple cleanup but not for multi-track or montage projects requiring nonlinear editing capabilities.

    Most beneficial of this software is that it does not do useless rendering if it is not needed. It has a very easy interface. Fast and reliable. Quite a good amount of features for easy processing. errors are good explained. My number 1 recommendation to have a great GUI instead of terminal based ffmpeg commands.

Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Avidemux is praised for its simplicity and powerful features, including lossless cutting, codec support, and quick file handling across different platforms. Users commend it for basic editing without re-encoding, though some criticize its stability, keyboard shortcut issues, and lack of advanced editing features like timeline editing and advanced codec support such as VP8/VP9. Its ability to handle various formats efficiently is appreciated, but there's room for improvement in stability and UI design.

Absolute amazing! Just cut out a section out of an mp4 file without re-encoding (no loss of quality!) - excellent stuff!

I don't like Avidemux. There are some little annoyances, like very bad, not reconfigurable shortcuts if you're using an non-english keyboard-layout. The preview is not scalable. You have to input the output name if you're saving cutted parts, again and again. It's not very stable (in Windows only?). It's having big trouble with converting mpeg2-streams, but it don't display any hints it's not able to convert it. So you have to wait hours of encoding too see the audio is asynchron, the resolution wrong or other problems. That's all points VirtualDub is much more comfortable! But Avidemux supports a lot of codecs and containers, while VirtualDub is very limited. I hope AviDemux will gain quality in the future, then it would be a really great tool.

Avidemux is an excellent tool for linear video editing. The ability to cut videos losslessly by keyframes and add audio tracks is a big plus, but it's also able to transcode video and audio to various formats and containers, making it a great alternative to Handbrake. Adding filters and special effects for the selected format is quick and easy. All in all, a much underrated program.

In my opinon, Avidemux offers more control over transcoding and is overall easier to use - with Handbrake, output is not always up to the user's expectations even if all the settings have been explicitly specified. It also seems to consume less system resources and still supports older operating systems.

Free, simple linear video editor with many formats and simple video filters, also supports raw video chunks edition without encoding.

Serves for cutting sections of a video or cutting a video length. Just wished some configuration options could be modified inside the app rather than using an editor to modify the configuration file.

What is Avidemux?

Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting. The basic use is cleaning up the video from the wrong shoots, to only keep the good ones.

PLEASE NOTE : It's a simple tool dedicated to a single task... It IS a LINEAR editor, NOT to edit and mix multiple videos, when you have multiple videos, it stacks them one after an other. It does NOT parrallel multi-video edit, but it's not its goal !
