📖️ Summary

📜️[en]:	A libre, multi-platform, non-linear video editing software with a focus on ease of use. It allows a beginner to assemble sounds and videos, to make some basic corrections (cut, merge, delete, and it has a management of customizable filters) and then to encode them in the main video formats. Tasks can be automated using projects, queues and powerful scripting capabilities.	📜️[fr]:	Un logiciel libre et multi-plateforme d'édition vidéo non-linéaire orienté vers la simplicité d'utilisation.

📕 Description [en]

📜️ "A libre non-linear video editing software with a focus on ease of use" 📜️ .

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 capabilities.

Avidemux is available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows under the GNU GPL license. The program was written from scratch by Mean, but code from other people and projects has been used as well. Patches, translations and even bug reports are always welcome.

🌍️ Wikipedia:

Avidemux is a free and open-source transcoding and video editing software, designed for easy-to-use and simple video editing and video processing.

It is written in C++ and uses Qt for its graphical user interface, and FFmpeg for its multimedia functions. Starting with version 2.4, Avidemux also offers a command-line interface, and since version 2.6, the GTK port is unmaintained and discontinued which was originally used.

Avidemux is developed for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Unofficial builds are also available for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.

Features

Avidemux is capable of non-linear video editing, applying visual effects (called "Filters" by Avidemux) to video, and transcoding video into various formats. Some of the filters were ported from MPlayer and Avisynth. Avidemux can also insert audio streams into a video file (an action known as multiplexing or "muxing") or extract audio streams from video files (an action known as "demuxing").

An integral and important part of the design of the program is its project system, which uses the SpiderMonkey JavaScript 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 users can simply create all of their configurations and save the video directly without making a project file. A project queue system is also available.

Avidemux has built-in subtitle processing, both for optical character recognition of DVD subtitles and for rendering hard subtitles. Avidemux supports various subtitle formats, including MicroDVD (.SUB), SubStation Alpha (.SSA), Advanced SubStation Alpha (.ASS) and SubRip (.SRT).

Components

Avidemux was written from scratch, but additional code from FFmpeg, MPlayer, Transcode and Avisynth has been used on occasion as well. Nonetheless it is a completely standalone program that does not require any other programs to read, decode, or encode other than itself. The built-in libavcodec library from the FFmpeg project is used for decoding and encoding of various audio and video formats such as MPEG-4 ASP. The primary (though not the only) Avidemux programmer uses the nickname 'Mean' on the Avidemux forum.

Multithreading

Multithreading has been implemented in the following areas of Avidemux (some partially through libavcodec):

Encoding
• MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 (using libavcodec)
• MPEG-4 Part 2 SP/ASP (using libavcodec or Xvid)
⚬ Earlier versions of Xvid are not compatible with this feature.
• H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 AVC (using x264)
• H.265/HEVC (using x265)

Decoding
• MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 (using libavcodec)
• MPEG-4 Part 2 SP/ASP (using libavcodec)

Supported formats

Avidemux supports following file formats: (see wikipedia)
