Carrying out routine editing operations on media files requires nothing more than a regular editor and, luckily, the internet does not lack this kind of software utilities. Designed to provide a user-friendly GUI for the FFmpeg console app, SweetPlex Media Editor allows you to easily edit media files of various types and create clips by combining images and audio.

It is worth mentioning from the start that SweetPlex Media Editor requires FFmpeg to work. In fact, you should place the executable file of FFmpeg in the same folder as the shortcut to the SweetPlex Media Editor’s executable. Should FFmpeg be missing, the application will not be able to execute any task.

Keep in mind that batch operations are supported: you can add multiple video, audio or image files to the input list and process them all at once.

SweetPlex Media Editor can be used as a simple video editor. Simply load a video file (the tool is compatible with all the formats supported by FFmpeg) and some of the editing options and buttons will be highlighted as available.

Videos can be sequenced together to create a larger MP4 clip, with or without interleave overlaying. You can also use SweetPlex Media Editor to trim a clip’s duration, resize, rotate and flip a video, crop and split it or strip the audio stream. Moreover, audio and video files can be merged together to create a single clip, which means you can use SweetPlex Media Editor to create simple compsiitions and presentations.

While not a professional video editor, SweetPlex Media Editor does provide you with basic functionality for manipulating media content. It is, more than anything, a more user-friendly GUI for FFMpeg, suitable for those who want to benefit from the functionality of the latter, but don’t fancy using the command console in Windows.
