| - | ====== Main window - GTK+ version ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | This article describes the main window in the GTK+ graphical user interface, which may be preferred by Linux or BSD users using the GNOME, Xfce or LXDE desktop environments. Microsoft Windows users should see the [[Main window - Qt version|Qt version]], which is the default GUI for the official Microsoft Windows builds of Avidemux. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Main toolbar ===== | ||
| - | {{:toolbar.png|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | The main toolbar allows easy access to the commonly used actions: | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:button_open.png|}}: Open a video file – clicking the little arrow button pops up a dropdown menu with recent files | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Button save}}: Save a video file | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:File properties}}: Display file information (audio/video codec, resolution etc.) | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Button calculator}}: Open a bitrate/filesize calculator – it calculates the video size for 2-pass encoding (because only video size, without audio, is required in the 2-pass codec settings), clicking the Apply button sets the 2-pass video size for the selected encoder | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Preview}}: Preview mode: **Input** – display input (unfiltered) video in the main window, **Output** – display filtered output in the main window, **Side** – display both input and output in the main window, horizontally, **Top** – display input and output stacked vertically, **Separate** – display input in the main window and output in a separate window | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Volume}}: Volume control | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Navigation bar ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki: Navigation bar}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | The navigation bar is used for navigation, using the navigation slider on the left and the buttons, playback, selecting parts of the file (cutting) and time information. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Navigation ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Play}}: Start playback | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Stop}}: Stop playback | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Previous frame}}: Go to previous frame | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Next frame}}: Go to next frame | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Previous keyframe}}: Go to previous intra frame (keyframe) | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Next keyframe}}: Go to next keyframe | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Previous black frame}}: Go to previous black frame – searching for black frames may take some time and may not be 100% accurate | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Next black frame}}: Go to next black frame | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:First frame}}: Go to the first frame (beginning) | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Last frame}}: Go to the last frame (end) | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Jogshuttle}}: Jog/shuttle, fast-forward or rewind by turning the wheel, speed depends on how far it is turned; keyframe based navigation | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Selection ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can either cut or save a selected part of the video. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:MarkA}}: Set mark A (selection start) to the current frame | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:MarkB}}: Set mark B (selection end) to the current frame | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:MarkerA}}: Shows the position of mark A, the selection start | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:MarkerB}}: Shows the position of mark B, the selection end | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Selection}}: This frame shows the corresponding frame numbers for A and B marks (unless you set A or B marks, the whole video is selected), pressing the "A:" or "B:" button means "go to mark A" or "go to mark B" | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Information ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Frame}}: Displays current frame and total number of frames – when you enter a frame number into the current frame text box and press Enter, Avidemux will go to that frame | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Time}}: Displays current time and total time | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Frame type}}: Type of the current frame (I-frame, P-frame or B-frame), the number between brackets shows the quantizer used to encode the displayed image (meaningful only when used with a quantizer type codec like the MPEG codecs) | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Audio/video sidebar ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The toolbar on the left can be used for setting audio and video encoders, filters and the output format. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Audio and video encoders are listed in a "format (encoder)" form, where format is the specification, standard, while encoder is the particular software library, implementation, that encodes the stream to the chosen format. For example, "MPEG-4 ASP (Xvid4)" means the output video format is set to MPEG-4 ASP and the chosen software library used for encoding the MPEG-4 ASP video is Xvid. "MP3 (LAME)" means the output audio format is set to MP3 and LAME is the MP3 encoder. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The "Format" menu is mainly used for setting the output container. A container contains audio and video streams multiplexed into a single file. It is important to select a suitable container format for the audio and video stream types selected in the Audio and Video menus. For example, MPEG-2 (DVD, SVCD) or MPEG-1 (VCD) video should not be saved into an AVI container. Some popular A/V format/container combinations include: | ||
| - | |||
| - | *video: MPEG-1, audio: MP2, container: MPEG-PS (suitable for a VCD, universally playable on most computers and operating systems including Microsoft Windows, without installing additional codecs) | ||
| - | *video: MPEG-2, audio: MP2/AC3, container: MPEG-PS (suitable for DVDs) | ||
| - | *video: MPEG-4 ASP, audio: MP3, container: AVI (a very popular format, playable on standalone "DivX compatible" players, in software players like MPlayer, VLC or xine and in Windows-based players if an MPEG-4 ASP decoder such as DivX, Xvid or ffdshow is installed) | ||
| - | *video: H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC), audio: AAC, container: MP4 (the MPEG-4 standard) | ||
| - | *video: H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC), audio: Vorbis, container: Matroska (an efficient free software choice for playback on computers, players like MPlayer or VLC can play the files out-of-the-box, for playback in Windows Media Player, an H.264 decoder such as ffdshow and a Matroska splitter such as Haali Media Splitter is needed) | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Sidebar-video}}: The default video codec is "Copy", which means no video encoding, video from the input will be copied to output (filters cannot be applied in Copy mode) – selecting a video codec for encoding from the drop-down list allows you to configure it (the Configure button) and set video filters (the Filters button); if a supported codec does not appear in the list, it means Avidemux has not been built with support for it | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Sidebar-audio}}: The default audio codec is "Copy", which means no audio encoding, audio from the input will be copied to output – selecting an audio codec for encoding from the drop-down list allows you to configure it (the Configure button) and set audio filters (the Filters button); when the the A/V shift checkbox is checked, audio will by shifted by number of milliseconds set in the A/V shift spin box | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki:Sidebar-format}}: Select the output format; the default A/V container is AVI | ||
