49 if you need to manipulate a video, for example to rotate it or transcode it to a different
50 format, then avidemux works great.
53 if you need to jam a bunch of videos together, crossfade them, and that kind of stuff,
54 then try openshot. it also supports simple saving with different quality levels, which

62 found this to be pretty helpful in finding my duplicate songs. it is able to analyze

67 another useful tool for finding duplicate tracks in a music collection, but relies on exact
68 matches in the names(?). was not so powerful as dupeguru, but still useful.
