Hi,
I see only "save settings as default" option and "Load saved settings"
How I can load saved if there is no offer to save?
Also if I close video and add new file, avidemux forgets loaded filters and I have to choose them again with every new video  :(

It reloads the saved default setting.

This is how it supposed to work.

Save project script with all necessary filters (please no partialized ones, those might need special handling to work with different video durations) using the corresponding menu entries in the "File" menu, edit the generated .py to remove the lines loading a video so that you end up with

Code Select
adm = Avidemux()
adm.addVideoFilter(first filter name, its configuration)
adm.addVideoFilter(second filter name, second filter's configuration)
and so on, put it into the "custom" subfolder of Avidemux profile directory. After restarting Avidemux, you will be able to add all the filters specified in this script in one go from the "Custom" menu in Avidemux after you have loaded a video (else the application should crash).

Why so complicated instead of 1 or 2 more menu items "Save Project settings" or "Save Project settings as"?

Because scripting filters separately from loaded videos implies that the user fully understands what she or he is doing. This is stuff for advanced users for whom the "complicated" steps are totally natural and easy.
