A new stable release of the Avidemux open-source and cross-platform video editor has been released for supported platforms, including GNU/Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows with new features and improvements.

The AviDemux 2.7 stable release is now available with support for the FFMpeg 3.3.x open-source multimedia framework for decoding and encoding video streams. FFmpeg 3.3 "Hilbert" was released last year in April and adds several new decoders, encoders, demuxers, and filters, along with support for spherical videos.

Avidemux 2.7 also adds various UI improvements to the MPlayer eq2 video filter, fixes VP9 decoding, uses rubber bands for crop in filters, implements the Ctrl+Shift+C keyboard shortcut to allow users to copy the current PTS (presentation timestamp) to clipboard, and supports Korean language translation.

New ADM Ivtc filter, more audio and decoding improvements

A new ADM Ivtc filter was added as well in Avidemux 2.7, which is an inverse telecine filter bringing back the 24 fps progressive content from a 30 fps interlaced Telecined source. Users will also be able to steplessly zoom paused videos when resizing the main Avidemux window and search the name of the executable in jobs.

Other than that, Avidemux 2.7 makes it possible to distinguish between EAC3 and AC3 when importing, addresses a frame computation bug in editing that led to poor video cutting, blacklists HEVC decoding through DXVA2 and moves the program's log files into the local folder on 32-bit Windows systems.

With this new stable release, the macOS package was rebuilt for compatibility with new versions. Same goes for the 32-bit Windows binaries, which were damaged on FossHub. You can download Avidemux 2.7 for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows operating systems right now through our web portal.
