About Avidemux

Avidemux is a simple video editor for Linux, Windows, and macOS. It handles straightforward jobs like cutting clips, applying filters, and re-encoding files, without the complexity of a full non-linear timeline.

It works directly with common formats such as MP4 and H.264 video, letting you trim sections, change the output codec, and process files one at a time. Tasks can be automated through projects and scripting for repeatable conversions.

Avidemux runs entirely on your own machine with no account or hosted service. Stable releases and nightly builds are offered for all three desktop platforms.
