I did many Christmas (fireplace) videos replacing the original audio with a selection of our own carols. I can cut the MP4 with Avidemux without any problem. What I want to do is the following: lets say for example I recorded 1 hour of driving and I want to cut out 2 minutes of something interesting. You can rely on Avidemux for basic video editing stuff. Avidemux offers a few basic video editing features like video cutting, merging, splitting, etc. SRT files which contain speed, time, lat and lng etc. Video Editing Options As we have already mentioned above, Avidemux is both a video converter and an editor.

I also like the Avidemux function of substituting one audio track for another. I record car videos in MP4 (H.264) format and the software also generates. So in one film, she asked me to cut out a scream and all one sees is a person ready to scream and then smoothly another person just simply walking away from the screamer - no scream ever heard, just a transition from one person to another LOL. One wouldn’t know there was a cut unless one knew the movie very well. Unfortunately the transition is so smooth that my wife has taken to scene removal (asking me to remove those scenes that upset her in a film). So at times I’m willing to sacrifice one or two non-key frames to have an absolutely smooth transition between cuts. Now if the cut is on a non-key frame, the transition between segments is not that smooth. I prefer to do just the editing in Avidemux and then any transformation (like TS to MP4) in Handbrake (which gives me more options and control).

If in another format, it takes the time required for transformation.

If in the input format, the save is instantaneous. In those cases you may want to remove a sequence from the video easily. When prompted to save the file after editing, one has the option which format to save it in.
