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.
AviDemux 2.8.0 release notes:
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

- 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)

- Fit to size (resize and pad to the specified size)
- Flip (vertically/horizontally flip the image)
- Grid (video wall effect)

- Wavelet denoiser
