Avidemux2.7.app
Avidemux is a free, open-source video editor and re-encoder designed for straightforward cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. It supports a wide range of video formats including AVI, MP4, MKV, MOV, FLV, WebM and MPEG, and handles both video and audio streams independently. Users rely on it for batch processing, format conversion, trimming, and applying simple filters — it is popular among home video enthusiasts and those who need scriptable video processing but do not require the complexity of professional NLEs like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAvidemux 2.7 is an Intel-only build with no confirmed native Apple Silicon version shipped by the developer. The search results show that Avidemux 2.8 is also X86-only and has not yet been ported to Apple Silicon. Since you are 18 months away from the macOS 28 deadline (late 2027) when Rosetta 2 support ends, you should begin planning now. Check the Avidemux project's official site and GitHub releases periodically to see if a native build appears — if the developer begins active work on Apple Silicon support, they would announce it there. In the meantime, if you need immediate alternatives, consider Final Cut Pro (full-featured, native Apple Silicon), HandBrake (free, open-source, actively maintained and ships with native Apple Silicon support, excellent for encoding and format conversion), or DaVinci Resolve (free version available, native Apple Silicon, very capable for colour and basic editing). If Avidemux's specific workflow is irreplaceable for your needs, keep it for now but plan to transition before late 2027.
