Multi-purpose video editing and processing software

Open sourceGPL-2.0-or-later

Highlights

  • Cuts and joins video segments by marking selection points on a single source file.
  • Changes container format without re-encoding when the streams are already suitable.
  • Applies an ordered chain of filters such as crop, resize and deinterlace before encoding.
  • Saves encoding configurations so the same conversion can be reused on other files.
  • Distributed for Linux under GPL-2.0-or-later by the Avidemux Team.

About this application

Avidemux is a video editing and processing application organised around a single-file, linear workflow: open a source video, set the beginning and end of a selection, stack processing filters, pick the output video codec, audio codec and container, then encode. It is built for per-file operations such as cutting out segments, changing the container without touching the streams, and converting material from one codec to another, rather than for multi-track timeline composition or effects-heavy montage.

Processing is expressed as an ordered filter chain, so operations like cropping, resizing, deinterlacing and colour adjustment are applied in the sequence the user arranges them. Audio tracks can be kept as-is, re-encoded, or replaced, and settings for a given conversion can be saved and reapplied to further files, which makes repetitive transcoding jobs practical.

The software is published by the Avidemux Team under GPL-2.0-or-later. This entry covers the Linux desktop build; it is a graphical application, so it suits interactive editing sessions more than fully unattended pipeline work.
