I am interested in what is needed to make it useable, user friendly, faster, etc. At the moment is only for MP4/H264, Audio copy. Since I am not familiar with some of the above mentioned software, I would like an opinion on a free software program that encodes only what is necessary and copies the rest. I saw that with videoredo you could add titles/images at the beginning/end of a video, but can you overlay images/text in the middle of the video while it's playing? I just had a look at videoredo on youtube, it looked pretty neat.ĭo you happen to know whether you can overlay images ontop of videos with any of those tools? Obviously without having to re-render. I think there are some other paid editors which may include smart encoding as an option, but I just can't remember which ones do. SmartCutter PS/TS and TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 5 are other alternatives that I can think of off the top of my head. (Smart encoding editors only re-encode the GOPs adjacent to the cut points, and only then when those GOPs are incomplete.) However, they are all paid software. So anyone know of anything better? If you want to remove 5 seconds from the beginning of a video and keep the rest, you need a smart encoding editor.


So I came across avidemux because I needed some videos trimmed, but it seems to have a problem wherein the frames you trim need to be i-frames? Because there's a 5 second thing I want to cut off from the beginning of a video here, but it just won't let me.
