So I have been working with combined video files and breaking them apart. Ill set the markers at the frame I want to cut, but it seems Avidemux goes 1.5-2 seconds prior to that marker when saving/exporting that section. Which leads to some awkward files.
Ideas?

Either cut at I-Frame or re-encode when saving.
Convert first to uncompressed and then edit and compress back down to your preference. Yes, the causes 2 generations. One is uncompressed so the loss is minimal. Ideally you just ask the client for a better master. I assume, you are not in such a situation where can ask a client for that.
Trying to edit on compressed video codec is a waste of time. You might luck out with some edits. On post-production services, we wouldn't even start without getting or making an uncompressed master.

Hope that helps.
