Run avidemux3_cli -help for more options. The binary name also varies, the following examples assume avidemux3_cli.Ī basic command-line use example would beĪvidemux3_cli -load hotkpopvideo.mp4 -output-format MKV -audio-codec AAC -video-codec x264 -save reencodedfile.mp4 This technology may be in a separate package called avidemux-cli which must be installed separately depending on how it was packaged. You can use it like you would use ffmpeg. You can open and edit VP9 files just fine, you just can't save using this format.Īvidemux has a stand-alone conversion tool which can be used from the command-line in a terminal in addition to the GUI. Limitations Īvidemux can output DV, FFV1, H.264, HEVC, MPEG2, MPEG4 ASP, VP8 and YV12 video but it can NOT output VP9 or AV1. The Video filters are numerous and there are many to choose from in the categories Transform, Interlacing, Colors, Noise, Sharpness and Subtitles (there's also 'OpenGl and 'Miscellaneous').Īll in all avidemux is a really handy and essential tool for for doing video conversion and simple editing of a video file or clip. Audio filters are limited to Resampling, remixing and gain. The most interesting button would be Filters. These will vary wildly depending on the codec you choose, DV has none and HEVC has many tabs with many options. The configure button allows you to choose all kinds of settings for your video output format.

You can choose what parts of the video you would like to save in a fashion. You open a video-file and choose what Video Output, Audio Output and Output format you'd like. It works with a single video-file at a time.
