Likely A without I.

Hello,
I configured the antivirus as described above.
Avidemux now opens very quickly.

Thank you.
With each update, the antivirus settings will need to be changed.

It's quite a hassle.

Thanks for the information.

I'll configure the antivirus, even though I'm using a portable version.

I'm very surprised that Windows 11 tests all the DLLs every time I use it, even though they were validated during download.
I'll let you know how it goes once I've done it.

**Steps To Reproduce**
1. Start Shotcut

If latest version refers to Avidemux, it does not confirm which version you are actually using, particularly when you state you start Shotcut, which I assume is a typo ? ... All a bit confusing !

**OS and Version (please complete the following information):**
 - Operating System: windows 64bit (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz   3.19 GHz)
 - Software Version: latest version

**Describe the bug**
for Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 & 8 Gen3 based mobile phones， all 4K HEVC 60fps mp4 recorded by build-in Camera App，
does not play smoothly and stutters in this software. it seems a common case.

**Steps To Reproduce**
1. Start Shotcut
2. Load the mp4 file (you may record by any model of such mobile phones which equipped above SoCs)
3. Playback

**Expected behavior**
A smooth playback

**Screenshots**

Please see the recent topic "Question about updates" starting with https://avidemux.org/smif/index.php?msg=98741 (Windows Defender screwing up Avidemux and similar modular software is not new though).

I'm running the same Windows version and load time is about 2 seconds. If I drag a video file onto the Avidemux shortcut on my desktop, it still only take about 2 seconds to load. The video file may of course take longer to open, depending on its size.

I'm running an older system with Win 10 installed, but it is completely offline, so I have no security running. My guess is your security somewhere is causing the issue.

Hello,
I use the latest portable versions of Avidemux.
I don't encounter any particular issues with how I use the software.
However—and I'm not sure why—the first time I launch Avidemux, I have to wait several minutes before I can actually use it. Furthermore, if I close Avidemux during a Windows session and then relaunch it later, I once again have to wait a long time before I can use the program.
It feels as though numerous components need to be "loaded" each time, and that these components are discarded after Avidemux has been left unused for a certain period...
I am running Windows 11 Pro 26H2.
This issue was already present in Avidemux 2.8.2 (from Dec 12, 2024), though the startup time was much faster in that version.
Are you aware of this issue, and do you know what might be causing it?
Thank you for your help.

One other question...Did you make it Keyframe only to satisfy your own needs, or was it a technical limitation. Just curious!

(1) Find on the official site : Up to 256 kbit/s per channel. So it is relevant.

(2) It works !

Thanks for the solution.
