You are correct. Had to add the folder as an exclusion in Windows Security.
In case anyone runs into the same issue, these are the steps:

1) start Windows Security
2) click Virus & threat protection
3) on the right side under 'Virus & threat protection settings' click "Manage settings"

4) scroll all the way down to 'Exclusions' and click "Add or remove exclusions"

5) click Add an exclusion

6) select "Folder"
7) browse to the correct folder and select it

Had to stop de proces using taskmanager and then it does start, but goes to "Not Responding" immediately. I left it sitting as I had to go and do thing else and when I came back to the computer, I was responding and I could use it fine.

For sure antivirus, probably Windows own built-in one, (re-) uploading every DLL dynamically loaded by every one of numerous Avidemux plugins (almost everything in Avidemux is a plugin) to the mothership and waiting for response. I doubt that anything can be done about it except for adding Avidemux program folder to path exclusions in Microsoft Defender or its equivalent.

You can check whether this is really the reason for the issue by temporally moving (almost) all Avidemux plugins (maybe except for demuxers and most necessary muxers) out of Avidemux program directory.

After downloading and installing, it worked fine. Then I needed it yesterday and the program just won't launch. Had to stop de proces using taskmanager and then it does start, but goes to "Not Responding" immediately. I left it sitting as I had to go and do thing else and when I came back to the computer, I was responding and I could use it fine. Today I am having the same issue. First start nothing happens (exe is in the proces list, but program is not showing) and then after stopping the proces, it does launch but goes to Not Responding.

Someone has done all the scripting for building everything super fast on a temporary ram drive.

Check out this thread.
Script to build app, and clean up after yourself.

The thumb slider (the wheel to the right of the navigation slider on left-to-right platforms) works while playing as well.

The slider jumps to 6 seconds from the start of the video every time i press up on my keyboard, and then goes to the same position it was before I pressed it. I can double tap the up arrow and then it will go forward 6 seconds (this video has keyframes every 2 seconds and the first frame is also one). The "wheel" does go 2 seconds forward if I press on the far right side of it, but, sometimes if I click too fast in succession it will reset the playback position to the start unfortunately.

It's not a problem with just one video or videos from the same source. For example, on a video with keyframes every 5 seconds it jumps forward 5 seconds if I double tap the up arrow. But again it jumps to 00:00:05 for a split second every time (instead of 6 sec like the keyframe every 2 sec vid).

Quote from: eumagga0x2a on October 21, 2026, 12:25:36 PMJust curious, why the legacy one? Does the normal appImage that requires libc (glibc) 2.38 or later fail to run (as it does on Debian 12 due to libc version being too old)?

Yes, the normal version doesn't run. I tried to troubleshoot it several months ago and I couldn't solve it, I remember some issue with FUSE 2 or 3 or something but I don't know if that was the issue.


Btw, this old version I have lying around works properly, avidemuxLinux_GLIBC_2.28_amd64_241110_1006.appImage. It also does the 6 sec instead of 2 sec but maybe that's how it always was. It also never jumps to the beginning for a split second.

Bonjour,

Pour corriger l'absence de raccourcis, ou les conflits entre eux, il est nécessaire de mettre à jour le fichier de traduction français (avidemux_fr.ts). Une PR (une demande de tirage) a été soumise à cet effet ; pardonnez-moi de ne pas l'avoir traitée, trop d'autres problèmes à résoudre.

Works for me while playing a video with the official legacy 20261018 appImage on Debian 12, a platform closest to Linux Mint 22.3 available to me now, nothing changed in this regard. The navigation slider sometimes jumps for a tiny fraction of a moment to the start position, but this doesn't affect functionality. The thumb slider (the wheel to the right of the navigation slider on left-to-right platforms) works while playing as well.

In an older version I used to be able to jump forward by pressing up or right while playing a video to jump forward. In all the later versions I've used now it doesn't work like that anymore. Now it jumps to the beginning and then back immediately. Can I change the setting somewhere to get this behavior? It was so much easier to scrub through footage fast when I was able to do that. Now I'm using the newest legacy appimage (Avidemux-x86_64_20261018_legacy.AppImage) on linux mint 22.3.

Bonjour,

Je suis nouveau sur le forum, bien que j'utilise Avidemux depuis des années.

J'aimerais une légère modification des menus, au niveau de leurs raccourcis:
- Le menu Vidéo n'en a pas, "i" serait compatible, il n'est utilisé par aucun autre menu.
- Audio et Auto ont le même raccourci: "a". Pour le menu auto, "u" serait compatible, il n'est utilisé par aucun autre menu.
- Le menu Aller, n'a pas de raccourci non plus, "l" serait compatible, il n'est utilisé par aucun autre menu.

Je demande ça parce que je me suis fait un logiciel d'automatisation de certaines tâches que j'effectue tout le temps. Dans le langage de programmation que j'utilise (et dont j'ai honte), ajouter un "&" devant la lettre d'appel des menus dans leurs noms suffit, mais c'est peut-être plus difficile en C.

Je ne sais pas si c'est ici qu'il faut faire ce genre de demande. À priori elle n'a jamais été faite, j'ai fait une recherche avec "shortkey" et "raccourci" dans le forum et je n'ai rien trouvé.

Bonne journée à tous.

Thanks for the answers. Will download it and move on to the modern era
