AviDemux 2.8.0 (64-bit)

Avidemux

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.
