The latest Avidemux video editor 2.7.1 now can be installed in Ubuntu 18.10 easily via PPA (unofficial) repository.
The new package name has been renamed to avidemux2.7
, thanks to Thanh Tung Nguyen. Unfortunately, I can’t build the VapourSynth plugin at the moment due to lack of time (I’m new to computer languages, and one small issue can take me a few hours to solve).
1. For Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 with avidemux2.6
installed, open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and remove it first via command:
sudo apt remove --autoremove avidemux2.6-qt avidemux2.6-plugins-qt
2. Add the PPA repository by running command in terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/avidemux
Type user password (no asterisks feedback) when it prompts and hit Enter to continue.
3. Finally install Avidemux 2.7.1 via command:
sudo apt install avidemux2.7-qt5
For Ubuntu 16.04, run sudo apt update
to refresh cache first.
Uninstall:
To remove the software package, run command in terminal:
sudo apt remove --autoremove avidemux2.7-qt5
To remove the PPA, launch Software & Updates and navigate to Other Software tab.
Avidemux is my favorite video editor. Had it installed by a .deb package. Thanks, this way it will stay updated.
Before step 3 it is necessary to run “sudo apt update”.
No. After “add-apt-repository” Ubuntu runs it automatically
Thanks Man very very much you saved my day…….
