Avidemux is one of the most popular video editors in the ecosystem of the Free software, since there is not only a version for Ubuntu or for Gnu / Linux but there is also a version for Windows and another for Mac, there are even for other platforms. But I am interested in the Ubuntu version. Today there is Avidemux version 2.6.5, the last one that we are going to talk about and discuss how to install it in our Ubuntu.

What does Avidemux do?

Avidemux is a video editor, very characteristic and practical as far as short video editing is concerned. By short video editing, I mean to perform tasks such as cutting clips, inserting images, encoding, saving in another format, etc ... Tasks that do not mean moving a lot of resources, but this is not the only thing that he knows how to do well. Avidemux. Another interesting feature is its support for scripts, an element that can be used to automate repetitive operations.

What's new in Avidemux 2.6.5?

Among the new enhancements of Avidemux there is a better development and update of the H264 format (decoding acceleration, 10-bit support for decoding, etc…). As well Avidemux supports the OpenGL filters, to multiple audio tracks, to VDPAU and other curious changes to this popular software.

How to install Avidemux 2.6.5?

Currently, Avidemux It is in the official Ubuntu repositories but only the previous version, version 2.5, is found. So if we want to use the new version, what we must do is install it unofficially. For that we lower the deb of the GetDeb page and we install it by double clicking on it. Once that package is installed, what we have to do is open a console and write:

sudo apt-get install avidemux2.6-qt

this will install the latest version of Avidemux, you may have to resolve some dependencies, since the version that we install is the one that use Qt libraries since the version of Gtk libraries, it seems that it gives problems.

If, on the other hand, what you want is to learn how to use this video editor or you need an editor to make some simple movies, I recommend that you use the Ubuntu repositories version. To do this, you just have to go to Ubuntu Software Center, to look for Avidemux, install it and go. Just to tell you an example, it is the one I use for the videos of the Youtube channel Ubunlog, Do you know him?

    The avidemux package is not available, but some other package references
    to the. This may mean that the package is missing, obsolete, or only
    available from some other source

    It seems to me that we run out of avidemux in Ubuntu, a little step backwards.
