The software allows you to make a wide range of adjustments. Options for video or audio manipulations or miscellaneous tools are categorized in separate menus. Finding a specific function is quite easy, because everything is very well organized. VirtualDub's core editing features can be accessed through a series of top menus. You can also find controls for marking a start and an end position on the video's timeline, to select a certain segment. Once you load a video, you can play it normally, forwards or in reverse, jump from frame to frame and so on. Its main user interface resembles a video player, rather than an editor, though it comes with a decent amount of controls. In terms of appearance, VirtualDub is much simpler than a traditional video editor. The software's hardware requirements are modest and it can be used on numerous Windows versions, from Win 98 to Win 7. All you have to do is download an archive, extract its contents and run an executable. Furthermore, VirtualDub doesn't need to be installed. The program is distributed under the GNU General Public License, which means that it is free.

What's more, VirtualDub provides support for batch operations and its functionality can be extended through third party filters. The software makes such operations straightforward and easy. Although VirtualDub is not as powerful and flexible as other video editing programs, like Adobe Premiere, the software can still satisfy your needs when it comes to cutting or adjusting videos.
