Free video editor
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.

Changes:
* New upstream release.
* Behavior
* The part of video preceding the presentation time of the first frame is now excluded from created segment, making all videos appear as if they “start at zero”.
* When saving video, the frame matching the B marker is now excluded from the exported range. Therefore, if the B marker is set to the last frame of the video, it needs to be reset to the full duration for the last frame to be included into the output.
* Loading Matroska files with HEVC video tracks takes longer as slice headers are decoded to detect the frame type.
* New Video Filters
* Analyzer
* Blur (on selected area)
* Cartoon
* Color balance (adjust shadow, midtone and highlight)
* Chroma hold (monochrome effect with kept colors)
* Chroma key (replace “green screen” with an image)
* Deband (reduce banding artifacts)
* DelogoHQ (clean up arbitrary shaped logo)
* Dynamic threshold
* Fade from first image
* Fade in (combination of multiple effects)
* Fade out (combination of multiple effects)
* Fade through (combination of multiple effects)
* Fit to size (resize and pad to the specified size)
* Flip (vertically/horizontally flip the image)
* Grid (video wall effect)
* Image stabilizer (reduce camera shakiness)
* Luma stabilizer (reduce flickering)
* Mirror
* Posterize
* Quadrilateral transformation (four point transform)
* Wavelet denoiser
* Wavelet sharpener
* Zoom (partializable crop filter)
* New Features
* HDR video can be converted to SDR with tone mapping using a variety of methods.
* FFV1 encoder is back (it was available in Avidemux 2.5.x).
* TrueHD audio tracks can be decoded and are supported for Matroska containers.
* Decoding support for WMA9 Lossless codec.
* Filter previews have got a unified method to quickly compare filtered and unfiltered inputs via the “Peek Original” button.
* Blend and motion interpolation options added to “Resample FPS” filter.
* Mark cut points (segment boundaries) on the navigation slider. New buttons and shortcuts are provided to jump to these cut points.
* In the Video Filter Manager, active filters can be temporarily disabled.
* Preference added to load sequentially named pictures in reverse order, allowing to reverse video by exporting selection as JPEG images and loading the first one.
* During playback navigation is possible via keys or by dragging the navigation slider.
* Other Enhancements
* “Resample FPS” and “Change FPS” filters can handle up to 1000 fps.
* “Crop” filter’s preview has got a translucent green masking.
* “Crop” filter’s Auto Crop function can achieve perfect crops (if the selected frame is not too dark).
* The maximum output resolution of the “Resize” filter has been increased to 8192×8192
* The “Resize” filter has got a nearest neighbour scaling option.
* Improved HiDPI scaling in previews.
* x264 video encoder plugin now allows one to specify color properties.
* Maximized window state, widget visibility and toolbar position are preserved after application restart.
* Timestamps in format 00:00:00.000 like copied to clipboard by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C can be pasted into the “Go to Time” dialog using CTRL+V.
* PulseAudioSimple audio device has been replaced with full PulseAudio, making an in-application volume control available (Linux only).
* ALSA audio device plugin has been modified to use soft volume, providing application-specific volume control which works with every ALSA device.
* In the Video Filter Manager, navigation by keyboard has been enhanced.
* The VU meter (“Audio Metre”) has been redesigned.
* Bugfixes
* Occasional UI unrepsonsiveness during playback should be fixed.
* Prevent navigation key events piling up.
* Thumb slider, displaced by mouse wheel, is now automatically reset if the end of video is reached, stopping Avidemux log file from filling disk space.
* Purple tint in old “Fade to” and “Fade to black” filters on macOS fixed.
* Green tint in “MPlayer eq2” filter is fixed.
* Miscellaneous
* Bundled FFmpeg libraries have been updated to 4.4.1 release.
