    OMGosh - You just saved me a hundred hours worth of work and my sanity. I've downloaded a ton of editors (just to trim videos) and they take forever. This trims an 1.5 hours video in seconds. I wonder why in all my research, this never came up before. THANK YOU!!!!! so much !!!!!! P.S. Never understood why it had to be re-encoded just to trim.

      @@tommythompson002 tks for the info, my two questions are, with the standard free version 64bit( nicely), question 1) can you convert large files, say 500MB to 2GB, high qual, keeping that quality, from say flv to MP4 & vice versa? & question 2) can it batch convert a bunch of files? Say each 500MB-1GB in size or is that too generous for a freeware?

      @@zechssiguro7476 I haven't met a restriction on file size with Avidemux. Actually, converting from one format to another on the fly is usually accomplished by the software changing containers (for example MKV to MP4) without transcoding or re-encoding. You can re-encode if needed like most video editors. You can add multiple video files by Batch processing. Below is a website that demonstrates how batch processing works with Avidemux.

    Avidemux can also clean up inconsistencies in the input file. The MOV files created by Avermedia 2 plus (capture device) cannot be edited by Corel VideoStudio. After Avidemux cleans up the file, you can save it to a correctly configured MOV or MKV file. My workflow includes using Avidemux to delete unwanted sections of the video before handing the production to the more bloated (and expensive) video editors, some of which are notorious for crashing.

I still went through with it and the rest of the video after the portion I cut out, my audio was delayed a little bit. Should I have changed some settings before I went through deleting a portion of my video or is there an easy fix for making the audio normal again? I copied my video before making that cut, idk if that helps though :/

Give the segment a new name to prevent overwriting the original file. Do the same thing for each segment. You might notice a little extra frames at the beginning or end since you're not re-encoding. To get exact points you'll need to re-encode each section.

      @@tommythompson002 thank you. I notice when I either delete a portion of a video or trim the video, the audio is delayed after the bit I made the change to. It goes back to normal when I pause and unpause the video. I'm guessing this is because the video loads up in the proper speed and the audio doesn't so therefore the audio is delayed a bit, which this also happens when I let the video play for more than about 40 seconds or so. I'm also guessing that there won't be any audio delays post edit and save because it knows where the audio is supposed to be since it goes back to normal when I pause the video in Avidemux. I'm trying now to figure out how to add subtitles to the video in Avidemux and what video output I should use for the filter option to be available. I did use mpeg encoder and it seemed fine. Is it also possible to append multiple videos at a time since I have 34 smaller videos now and I don't want to append them one at a time but it's fine if I have to.

      ​@@AMS-KungPao I would use Kdenlive or Shotcut if I were you. You will have more capabilities with either of these choices. If the sections you remove are short, they shouldn't take long to re-encode and it should fix your audio delay issue. You can also add subtitles using these programs too. Below are links to each program and a link to a short video explaining how to import subtitles in Kdenlive. Avidemux can re-encode, but I like the program for its quick basic features.

      With Avidemux you can precisely crop anywhere if you reencode. In copy mode, which is the only way to preserve quality with lossy codecs like mpeg2, mpeg4, h264, h265 etc., the cut must start on an I-frame or on an IDR frame, this is what Avidemux shows as an I-frame. This is discussed in more details on Avidemux Forum.

    • @tommythompson002
      @tommythompson002  Рік тому

      Does this occur with .mp4 or .mkv or any video file type? Also, what file manager are you using? Sometimes the Caja file manager has trouble displaying thumbnails for .pdf files and certain video files when a certain number of files are inside a folder. Install the Thunar file manager, sudo apt install thunar, and see if the thumbnails display. If they do, you have a problem with your file manager and if they don't we'll try to figure out why Avidemux is causing this problem.

      @tommythompson002  3 роки тому +1

      Open Avidemux and click on the Edit menu and then the Preferences option. Click the Audio tab across the top and make sure you have Pro Logic as your first option and PulseAudioS as your second option. Then close the program and reopen it. If the problem still persists then check the original video file and check the frame rate. Sometimes video editors have trouble quickly editing video files that have a frame rate greater than 30 fps. If it doesn't work, we can try something else. Good luck!

      If Avidemux didn't work on your system, then take a look at LosslessCut or Kdenlive. LosslessCut is the simplest to use, but Kdenlive has the most features. I use Kdenlive when I need to blur out faces or objects within a video or if I need to add transitions or adjust my audio. Avidemux is my go to for simple editing on my desktop and newest laptop. I use VidCutter on my oldest laptop. LosslessCut replaced Vidcutter since it no longer receives updates; however, Vidcutter still works great on my old system. I hope one of these works for you.

    ВОПРОС: Как при вырезании тишины установить метку B сразу перед началом очередного слова? При перемещении по кадрам звуковой индикатор уровня не работает и непонятно: в этом кадре уже есть звук или ещё нету. Может есть какой-то способ не на глаз это делать?
    А то часто нужно вырезать паузы между словами и если метку А поставить просто - нажать паузу сразу после того как человек перестаёт говорить, то вот как поставить метку B сразу перед началом разговора - непонятно. Нажимаю паузу как только начинается звук, но отматывать назад непонятно сколько.

      Avidemux режет видео по ключевым кадрам или I-кадрам, вы не можете выбрать точный таймкод для обрезки. Чтобы точно вырезать, нужно перекодировать видео, что занимает больше времени. Kdenlive или Shotcut могут обрезать видео в определенных точках, но вам придется перекодировать видео.

      Yes. I used to record a TV show with a Digital TV Tuner and Recorder and I used Avidemux to cut out all the commercials.
