When you want to make some minor changes on your video files, you would prefer not to meddle with large, complex and time-consuming software, right? A smaller tool that is also straightforward would be the best option in this case.

VirtualDub is a tiny video editor that you can use to quickly edit video files.

It is not as complex as other more powerful tools like Adobe Premiere, but it gets the job done when it comes to linear adjustments.

Since the application doesn't require any installation, VirtualDub is portable, so you can simply move it on an external device and use it on any computer.

Unfortunately, this tool is not compatible with all video formats, and it may require codec packs to open a certain file. This can become annoying for certain users.

The user interface is very standard. Once you have opened a video file, you can cut, copy and crop sections, apply filters, change framerate and color depth, recompress, adjust AVI output and Wave input buffering, and others.

In addition, you can capture video and audio to an AVI file.

If you're new to video editing, then feel free to check out the help file, as it contains some useful guidelines on how to use VirtualDub, as well as general information.

The program works well, and it didn't bail on us. Memory resources are barely used.

So, if you want a fast and clean way to adjust your video files, VirtualDub might be the kind of software you've been looking for. Besides, it's free to use!
