AviSynth is a powerful tool for video post-production. It provides many ways of editing and processing videos. AviSynth works as a frameserver, providing instant editing without the need for temporary files. AviSynth itself does not provide a graphical user interface (GUI) but instead relies on a script system that allows advanced non-linear editing. While this may at first seem tedious and unintuitive, it is remarkably powerful and is a very good way to manage projects in a precise, consistent, and reproducible manner. Because text-based scripts are human readable, projects are inherently self-documenting. The scripting language is simple yet powerful, and complex filters can be created from basic operations to develop a sophisticated palette of useful and unique effects.

An all-in-one tool for capturing and editing video files This is a wonderful file for video processing geeks. Virtual Dub is a free, open source application that is something of a "photoshop" for video. To start off with the basics, it'll capture video and let you save it. Even if that's all you want to do, this program is worth the download. But it does much more as well. it's a very good tool for cleaning up and trimming video, in particular if you want to use it in concert with a more fully featured video editing program. You'll be able to crop video, compress it, remove and replace audio tracks without changing the video, and much more, including using filters that allow you to sharpen and blur. You can even delete individual frames. Highly recommended.
