Video Editing Software
August 6th, 2013
1. I need to cut off one or two second of the video file. Like I need to cut off a certain scene of a video.
2. I need to blur out a certain part of a video frame for a few second. (i.e. Hide a sensitive part from a video)
now the main part. I can do these with pinnacle video studio. But in order to save the file, I need to re encode the entire movie/video. Thus loosing quality/file size ratio in a big margin.
So is there any app that can do these without loosing quality of an mkv/avi/wmv file?(preferably without reencoding)
Any reply will be highly appreciated.
thanks to all for taking the time to read my post.
maybe freemake
sorry if this doesn’t help

AVISynth can do that in realtime without re-encoding. The result could be encoded afterwards if you wanted.
Get AVISynth, version 2.6 is very fast. Then get AvsPMod and copy the following into it, replacing the items inside the square brackets with the correct values. Do not include the square brackets! Once you have done that press F5 and see the video. If you move the time slider to the frame which you set as blurred you can see it, pressing right arrow to step frame by frame. I have done a simple resize down and up to blur the video. It’s faster than most blur plugins and can be done easily in realtime. If you save the script and open it using Media Player Classic you can watch the video. Then if it is as you wanted, you can then re-encode the video by using the script in any video encoding program such as MeGUI.
If you want to cut any frames out then add the necessary trim commands similar to what is already there.
blurstart=[blur start frame]
blurend=[blur end frame]
video=directshowsource("[path and filename]")
video1=trim(video,0,blurstart-1) # 0 means the beginning of the video
video2=trim(video,blurstart,blurend)
video3=trim(video,blurend+1,0) # 0 means the end of the video
xw=width(video2)
yh=height(video2)
video2=video2.BilinearResize(20,20).BilinearResize(xw,yh)
video=video1++video2++video3
return video
You can try Windows Movie Maker too.
Cut, Join, Rotate, Limit size, Adjust to aspect ratio.
Cut video parts from your file. Flip or rotate video. Join several videos into one file, add transitions between parts. Fit the output file size to any limit (e.g. 700 Mb, 1.4 Gb, 4.7 Gb). Adjust output video to the established aspect ratio: add black bars, stretch, zoom, auto-adjust

thanks a lot bro. I used AVISynth before with meGUI to encode movies. But always I usually end up with unsynchronised audio/video. Then I left it and did my work with handbreak.
I’m going to try it onces again as you mentioned.
Edit: it does require to re encode at the last to get a final video file. But the good point is, I love playing with something new and tinkering with various settings. I guess I’ll have a lot of options to play around.

The video can be played by opening the script with a media player, therefore it doesn’t have to be re-encoded. You can store the script and play it when you want to censor the video for certain persons viewing. It seems a lot of trouble re-encoding if they are only going to be watching it once.
You could lower the volume of the blurred section if necessary using amplify.
I have never had any sync problem when encoding, however I always do the audio separately and mux together at the end. You could always output the audio as wav files and then encode and mux together at the end.
TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5.0.6.38 can do that, and it’s easy to use unlike Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas.

Have you used Authoring Works? What’s the difference?

I had found some good tutorial on meGUI, and followed them and learned some things as well. meGUI always encodes audio and video separately as far as I can recall.
What problem I face is, the length of audio file and video remains same.
And the lag between audio/increases till about middle of the movie, and then it starts to decrease.
Thus I end up with a movie that is well synchronised only at fast and last 15 minutes.
However, I’ve worked only with dvd files (.vob)
I’ll try it again within next two or three days.
PS: english is not my native language. So I’m sorry if you pass hard time reading my post. :p
It sounds like your using the wrong method to open your vob files. Although I used directshowsource in this earlier example, I used it only as a general fit all and I don’t use it in my encodes because it’s too hit and miss. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. DGIndex is far better when working with Mpeg2/vob’s. ffmpeg or it’s variants, is what is normally now used but it’s a bit of a nuisance getting it to work IMO. I stick with DGIndex which is proven and works for Mpeg2.

Yes I have the Authoring Works too. Authoring Works is used to create DVD or Blu-ray from a video file. Video Mastering Works is used to edit/convert a video file to a different file format.
