Hello
My thoughts:
I use Avidemux for cut and save with good quality, Megui (x264/64bit 2pass,...,..., + 10bit) for small size (low bittrate), + compress audio(or foobar2000).
Please add x264(64*) 10bit :)

Megui "latest" sometimes is unstable and i cant export 10bit x264.
+ aac he min 30 Kbps
(I convert audio to mono ~maximum acceptable compression)
This two modification can save about 50% time for "video work" with slow cpu. :)
*Nightly 64bit use x264 64bit ?
(Sorry if I write post in wrong place)
