Changes in Avidemux v2.7.8 – v2.8.0
Behavior
- The part of video preceding the presentation time of the first frame
is now excluded from created segment, making all videos appear as if
they "start at zero".
- When saving video, the frame matching the B marker is now excluded
from the exported range. Therefore, if the B marker is set to the last
frame of the video, it needs to be reset to the full duration for the
last frame to be included into the output.
- Loading Matroska files with HEVC video tracks takes longer as slice
headers are decoded to detect the frame type.

- Blur (on selected area)
- Cartoon
- Color balance (adjust shadow, midtone and highlight)
- Chroma hold (monochrome effect with kept colors)

- Fade through (combination of multiple effects)
- Fit to size (resize and pad to the specified size)
- Flip (vertically/horizontally flip the image)
- Grid (video wall effect)
- Image stabilizer (reduce camera shakiness)
- Luma stabilizer (reduce flickering)
- Mirror
- Posterize
- Quadrilateral transformation (four point transform)
- Wavelet denoiser
- Wavelet sharpener
- Zoom (partializable crop filter)

Bugfixes
