VirtualDub is an open source video capture and processing program. It might not have the editing power of software like Adobe Premiere, but as a quick way to process video it's hard to beat.
You can use VirtualDub to trim and clean up video before exporting to tape or processing with another program. With the right plug-ins, you can output your video in various encoded formats—ready to be distributed on CD, DVD, or over the Internet.
VirtualDub is popular. At the time of writing, visitors to Sourceforge are downloading it over 16,000 times a day.
VirtualDub is an unusual and interesting name for video software. Having used VirtualDub hundreds of times during the writing of this introductory chapter, I've come to appreciate how apt the name is. By selecting a video file and then applying a myriad of individual or grouped filters, I quickly see what would happen if I decided to go forward and capture the changes in a new file. Since I preview them and don't create a new one, I'm looking at a 'virtual' file—one being 'dubbed' from the source file but with the changes I want. It's so easy, quick, and wonderful that you can easily forget the long time spent in seeing such previews when you were working with video editing software. Such is the world of VirtualDub.
You may have heard good things about VirtualDub. You probably bought or picked up this book because you're eager to explore the topic. Or maybe you just bumped into it while browsing books about digital video editing. In either case, this is the right book.
If you're already dabbling in digital video editing, you may have VirtualDub for no other reason than it was a free download and you had heard about it, but you don't know how to use it. Hopefully you have a camcorder or a library of old videos and a yearning to try your hand at digital video editing. But you're not sure where to begin and can use some more knowledge and skills, especially with VirtualDub.
Millions of photographers, videographers, amateurs, and computer users are in the same situation. Many use their computers to retouch images, make slide shows, and even try their hand at non-linear video editing. Others are eager to learn and try.
The constant rollout of new digital hardware and software products is dazzling and exciting, but it can also be intimidating to those who don't understand the basics or need to develop their skills further. Continued education and skill development are critical to enjoying the editing process and achieving results.
Thousands of software applications and utilities are being developed and rolled out as commercial products, shareware, or freeware. Most are short-lived or used by very few.
Rarely does new software gain global acceptance (from casual to power users) and go on to enjoy a full life of its own. VirtualDub is one of those rarities. That in itself is a good reason to explore what it's all about.
Started only a few years ago, it has emerged since then to global awareness, acceptance, use, and accolades. It has a significant community of users and has inspired or spawned the development of other related software products such as VDubMod and AviSynth.
According to the statistics at SourceForge.net there have been over 17 million downloads of VirtualDub or its associated packages for the four and a half year period from mid- 2000 through the end of 2004.
VirtualDub and related software products make up the world of VirtualDub and this book will either introduce you to it or help you develop your skills with it.
Don't expect to stop when you finish reading this book. With ongoing development and expanding usage, there may never be a final product. It's the kind of software that continues growing and evolving. Use the book to get the background knowledge of the VirtualDub world, develop your skills to become totally comfortable with the software, and from there follow and adopt future developments with ease and excitement. Keep this book in your library for continued reference.
Whatever your main video editing software is and your personal video goals are, VirtualDub will enhance your videos.
