Using Project - Files (Avidemux)

Avidemux allows users to create project files, jobs, and custom scripts to save and apply editing settings and configurations. Project files save all editing settings like cuts and filters in a tinypy script. Jobs are similar but automatically save the project. Custom scripts stored in a scripts directory can contain customized encoder settings, filters, or other options and appear in a Custom menu for one-click application. This allows presets for common tasks to streamline the editing process.

Project files
Avidemux project file is a simple tinypy script text file. It contains all the settings of the current
editing, including cut and filters. Since it is tinypy, you can edit it and use the powerful scripting
language to, for example, process a whole directory the same way.

You can have a look at the additional tinypy functions by looking at the Scripting article.

Jobs
Jobs are in fact also tinypy. They only differ from a regular project file by an additionnal
“app.save(filename);” line at the end. They are stored in $HOME/.avidemux6/jobs/ directory.

Custom scripts
Custom scripts are also tinypy files. They are stored in $HOME/.avidemux/custom. They can
contain anything a project file can contain, but their usefulness is elsewhere. They can contain
video encoder selection and configurations, video filters audio encoder selection and
configurations, audio filters and format selections all at once, individually, or any combination.

For example, you may want to use very often the same encoder configuration, with (maybe)
custom matrices. Or a custom set of filters.

In that case, do it manually and save the project file. Then edit that project file and remove
everything except the part you are interested in (filters or encoder). Put that file in the custom
scripts directory. For the script to appear in the Custom menu the file name must end with .py.

Now when you start Avidemux, that script will appear in the Custom menu, and by selecting it
you can apply the custom codec and/or filters with one click.

See the Presets tutorial for more details.
