Free software programs: Video Editing Program
Avidemux is a video editing program 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 capabilities.
The straightforward user interface is designed for convenience and speed with simple operations.
Features include WYSIWYG cutting, appending, filters and re-encoding into various formats. Avidemux can also mux and demux audio streams into and out of video files, either through re-encoding orusing a direct copy mode.
An integral and important part of the design of the program is its project system, which uses the SpiderMonkey ECMAScript scripting engine. Whole projects with all options, configurations, selections, and preferences can be saved into a project file.
Like VirtualDub's vcf scripting capabilities, Avidemux has advanced scripting available for it both in its GUI and command line modes. It also supports a non-project system just like VirtualDub, where you can simply create all your configurations and save the video directly without making a project file.
A project queue system has been recently added to the program and is currently being expanded upon. Avidemux has built-in subtitle processing, both for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to soft subtitle formats (sub and srt) and various hard subtitle VobSub capabilities.
While it is primarily a GUI program, Avidemux can also be run from and through the command line (which can be used for batch processing and debugging).
The very latest feature additions include the mp4 container support and various degrees of multi-threading.
