Editor's review of Avidemux
stars
- "Crop for free"
- Version reviewed: Avidemux 2.5.0
Making simple crop edits to videos of all formats shouldn't be tricky business, but most tools out there either do way too much or are so belabored with ads that who knows what evil lurks within their code.
Open-source on the GNU license, Avidemux is a breath of fresh air. Cropping a video is as simple as selecting the section you want to remove and then hitting the Delete key. Re-encoding a video is equally painless: select the output format from the drop-down list, save the file, and you're good to go. When choosing where to start and stop a crop, there's both incremental and multisecond advance and rewind tools, There's also a not insubstantial list of video and audio codecs that files can be converted to. Video formats include multiple codecs for FLV, MPEG, AVI, VCD, H.263/4, and others, while audio formats include MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, and one or two more.
The program also includes advanced options, including generic decoder and post-processing tools, user-defined filters, GlyphSet adjustments, and more features. Avidemux should appeal to users of all abilities who are looking for a quick way to edit down video files.

Version: Avidemux 2.5.0
Pros: It looks pretty cool, but...
Cons: Maybe it's my Avid and Final Cut pro background. I couldn't figure out how to even get started with this program.
Summary: I think some of these "consumer" editing programs are over simplified to the point of being nearly incoherent.

Version: Avidemux 2.5.0
"Filters did not work, kept crashing..."
Pros: The features of the filters that were displayed looked great but trying to apply them to your video files is another story.
Cons: I was able to create filters but they were not able to be applied to the video and the app would crash when I did try to apply them or on certain preview modes.
Summary: My advice is give it a try, it's a small download and GNU/open source means no ads or hidden installers, it might work for you and if it does then you have an awesome editor. The software looks like it has awesome potential, I gave it 2 stars instea... read more >>

Version: Avidemux 2.5.0
"great, really more than 10 characters great ...and 5"
Pros: works with HD, fast, always discovering new capabilities, free, can do partial filters, add filters over and over again, change framrate, adjust bitrate, crop, resize,add audio,open programme twice at least, never crashes while encoding,saves crashes
Cons: nothing really, I would like to know where I can import more filters from but that's just being greedy really.
Summary: Where have all the reviews dissappeared to just because it's a new version. Is this how cnet works? seems a bit daft. I've already sang the praises of this app over and over again. Today I just wanted to share with you that you cn run the app twice ... read more >>
