   New version available -> avidemux 1:2.8.0-2~xtradeb1

   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.
