I'm quite flabbergasted that the default "none" is missing from the tuning settings in the x264 and x265 encoders configuration. It's by far the most useful setting, hence it being the default... Surely it's an very simple detail to fix.
You could build Avidemux yourself with the attached primitive patch.

An explanation whether the patch in http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,17158.msg77075.html#msg77075 (http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,17158.msg77075.html#msg77075) constitutes a valid approach would be highly appreciated. A real solution would display a translatable string "none" to the user, but pass a valid \0 value for tuning.
Note that the default/none setting is missing for the x264 encoder also.

You didn't look into the patch, did you? :(
Well, I'm an end user and trust those interested in coding to deal with that. But the discussions I've found has been solely about the x265 encoder, which is really strange since the x264 encoder have been used extensively for a long time. The default tuning and presets are basically essential for an effective and easy use of the encoder.
The fix (https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/commit/830df503c3acdfcc274cb55b6faae569a7f0fd14) is in git master now.
