Video Editing Classic “AviUtl” Gets Reborn
Free software now integrates extended editing plugin.
Good news for video editors! On July 7th, 2025, **KEN**, the mind behind the popular freeware video editing tool “AviUtl,”
announced a new version that merges the core software with its extended editing plugin, streamlining the user experience.
Integrated and Windows 10 Compatible
This updated release, called “AviUtl ExEdit2 Test Edition,”
is now compatible with Windows 10 and later operating systems. It can be downloaded from AviUtl’s Room.
Originally launched in 1997, “AviUtl”
quickly became a favorite for both simple edits and more complex encoding tasks, thanks to its wide array of extension plugins. Over time, the open-source tool became a staple for many online creators, with a 2010 survey finding that it was used by nearly 60% of Japanese Nico Nico Douga video uploaders (O’Reilly Japan).
Enhanced Features as Standard
The “AviUtl ExEdit2 Test Version”
was rebuilt from the ground up, integrating “AviUtl”
with its official extended editing plugin. Functions previously requiring the plugin, like video layering and material resizing, are now standard. This provides comprehensive video editing capabilities right out of the box.
The integration of features aims to provide a more seamless experience, lowering the barrier to entry for new users while retaining the powerful functionality that veteran “AviUtl”
users have come to expect.
For those familiar with “AviUtl”
or anyone seeking capable gameplay video editing software, exploring the “AviUtl ExEdit2 Test Version”
is certainly worth considering.
