I find all points here very valid. It is stable/buggy depending on your specific project, format. But what it is and does as freeware is comparable and exceeds those so called commercial editors which are bloated and too complicated, plus extremely pricey. The 2.7.x branch is stable, if I hit a problem I revert back to an older 2.5.6 portable. Also I think the bugs may sometimes be bugs within Windows which 'react' to avidemux or vice versa.
Another plus point is that are easy accessible filters for denoise or sharpening. My quibble is that I wouldlower the spatial settings at a high default as they are far too strong as in the really good HQ denoiser available in the filters. Its default should be lowered to a more conservative 2:1:3:3 for most sources. I mostly use the fluxsmooth on DVD sources set at very safe 7 & 7 for excellent results.

Hi,
"Avidemux" is no less than excellent (if not among the very best — of its "kind" if you want), since it's EASY, PORTABLE and AUTONOMOUS, plus... FREE.
Plus, important points: able to and even set by default to stream copy (good!)
= (simple reminder to beginners) no recoding => no quality loss + very fast, although lossy compressed videos can only be cut on their key ("intra", labelled "I" by "Avidemux") frames, in stream "Copy" mode / double triangle blue buttons will find them key frames for you;
AND providing a no-more-than-what-you-need set of commands or menus / buttons. All that in one Win. 10 (64 & 32-bit) + XP + Linux + Macintosh compatible tool, being rather unique.
Some free editors sure are easy but may lack portability or any other of those qualities — when they don't come bundled with idiotware, while "Avidemux" comes with NO spy/malware whatsoever.
I've tested quite a few... tons of editors, including excellent, e.g. "VirtualDub", "Sony Vegas", etc., of course. "VirtualDub" really lacks an option to save to more containers than ".avi" (".mp4" possible but way too complicated to set).
And "Avidemux" lacks the ability to crossfade (so does "VirtualDub"); I mean, withOUT the help of "AviSynth", but sure gets: TO-THE-POINT faster than anything else, i.e. at once: —— edit... EASY!
OK, it's been "quite" buggy, thus forcing me to switch to e.g. its 2.5.6 version when 2.6.x versions would crash or display their delightful "Video saved but too short" warning. Nevertheless, as already posted here, 2.7.0 or 2.7.x is much more stable.
A tool that lets you and helps you concentrate on video instead of on its (complex) commands, is no less than essential. Obvious if not boring as can be, such a remark is intended as a reminder to (so) MANY a programmer!..

avidemux has improved of late I grant you that, but it does crash, no doubt there. Often the message in Windows using control alt delete shows 'this program is not responding' warning, then leaving it for a few minutes it starts encoding. Also if you decide to just (re)encode audio up, it gives a crazy output e.g mp3 you set in option prior, in an unrecognisable form so you have to go into Windows system options and add the extension .mp3 to your file so it is read properly. Also if you decide to just copy the video and output new audio it crashes in whatever container or muxer you use. This program is far from stable and to confirm it for myself I tested on xp, both 32/64 bit Win 7 as well and saw the same annoying bugs. Win 10 I never tested.
