Machete 3.2 build 55

Machete 3.2 build 55  is a quick and lean video editor. It is an ideal solution for easy and quick "slicing" of your video files: you can delete unnecessary fragments (e.g. cut out commercials), copy, move, mix and save individual pieces. This means that Machete combines functionality of both video splitter (cutter, trimmer) and video joiner (for joining video files with the exactly the same formats).

Additional functions available: ability to save video and audio (WMA) streams as separate files, ability to add/replace audio stream in WMV file and ability to save a video frame as a bitmap (.bmp) file. Currently, Machete can edit video files in AVI and WMV (ASF) formats and audio files in WMA format (most video and audio codecs are supported: DV, DivX, XviD, WMV, MSS, WMA, MP3, AC3 and other). Support for more video formats (FLV and other) will be added in future versions.

The programs key feature is that editing of a video file is performed without re-encoding (so-called lossless editing). This not only saves time, but also prevents loss of video or audio quality. Also, it means that you would not need powerful and expensive computer to edit your video material. After a file is edited and saved, it retains its original format. The program does not require installation of any special codecs for multimedia editing in addition to regular decoders that are needed for video viewing and audio playback. You dont need any special skills or advanced knowledge to edit video with Machete.

Using the Machete you can process video and audio files with AVI, WMV, MP3, WMA along with likes of XviD, DivX, DV, AC3, and more in an effortless manner.

The player controls are provided at the bottom side, which include options for moving to beginning, previous/next key frame, previous/next frame, play, pause, stop and the option to jump to specific time you want to watch the video from. The tools for editing purpose have been provided at program console’s bottom side. Using the tools, you can set the start and end point for selecting a specific video segment to form a new clip or go delete it from the video. You can anytime go the beginning or end of the selected segment, and clear, cut, copy, or paste the selected area as per requirement. Even, you can insert a file within an already loaded video at the specific time. When you’ve made the changes, yon can stream the save the altered video or also can stream audio and video into separate files.
