Good Freeware Video Editor?
KodeZwerg:
For Windows and Mac:
I really dont know if it support the wanted feature, but in general it is a sweet tool and for a few days even for free.
www.videoproc.com <- Original Link
german Chip.de <- Free Giveaway Version
Howto:
Open 2nd link
click "Download Vollversion"
another window open
click "Download Server xyz"
When all went good, you have received a .zip file.
Inside .zip archive is a .pdf and a .exe
Install product by executing .exe
Open .pdf and type inside VideoProc "Register" screen the number from .pdf.
Have fun and enjoy :)
Be aware, the license key is meant for the .exe inside .zip only and cant be used with later versions...!
So do not update VideoProc unless you buy it.
BTW: VideoProc uses Hardware accelerated GPU encoding/decoding, thats why i use it :-]

In its latest issue (dated 4-17 December 2019) UK magazine Computeractive published its list of "Best Free Software for 2020." They recommend:
* VSDC Free Video Editor as having plenty of features but easy to master, with excellent tutorials.
* DaVinci Resolve 16 (as noted by sphere earlier). More advanced than VSDC, but also harder to master. Both of those are cut-down versions of payware programs. The full version of DaVinci Resolve is very expensive. VSDC Pro is more approachable, and appears to currently be on offer at $19.99
They DON'T recommend HitFilm Express because while it's a decent if complex program, they don't like the way it requires you to sign up for an account before you can even download it. It also needs a powerful computer, including a graphics card with a minimum of 1 GB of memory.

If it is good, I don't know, but ShotCut is open source and could be considered a GUI for the excellent ffMpeg software. For my purposes at the time it did the job well. A conversion of video camera feed from a pool bar to help out a friend identifying the thief who took his phone. The original feed file was about 600 MByte in size, but could not be read in any player, except the (very) propriety one from the camera system, which only worked in the camera system itself.
Still, Shotcut was able to take the original file and convert it into a file that works in any standard player in any OS. Albeit 19 GByte in size.... As there was no further use for me with this software (till date), I really can't say how good it is.
But it is free to use, not too heavy a download (extracted about 575 MByte), gets regular updates and can be used as a portable app. The last part is why it hasn't been removed from my system yet.

How would I use AVIDemux to process a musical track with Automatic Level Control, or ALC, that is too quiet and then too loud, to even it up?-holt (December 03, 2019, 01:04 PM)
--- End quote ---
In that case you need to normalize the audio track, AVIDemux doesn't have a filter for that.
You can, however, by adding a couple of steps do it outside AVIDemux and then mux it back in:
* Open the file in AVIDemux
* Save the audio track, Audio->Save Audio
Then use ffmpeg to normalize:
--- Code: Text ---ffmpeg -i input.aac -filter:a loudnorm -c:a aac -b:a 128k -vn -sn -dn output.aac
Then add the audio track into AVIDemux, Audio->Select Track, then choose ... Add audio track from the dropdown to select the the output from the ffmpeg operation.

Then it's just the same as my post above with regards to saving the remuxed output - if you set ffmpeg to output in the final desired audio codec then you don't need to encode it in AVIDemux, just set Audio Output to Copy, (same as it is for Video Output).
sphere:
So I am looking to batch convert many AMR files to MP3 (while also adjusting the Sampling rate so it is at least 16) and it occurred to me I would also like to normalize the volume on these files and possibly make other tweaks. Additionally, I have a number of movies I would like to do the same. A Finally, I sometimes like extracting the audio from videos so I can listen on the go. Any suggestions? I realize this post was originally about video editing, but I guess I am wondering if there is a standalone application that can help with all of these media related tasks?
