4.0/5

Machete is a harmless application sporting an edgy name only, as there is not much of a connection between a sharp tool and a multimedia player with rudimentary editing features. Maybe cutting frames and splitting apart a file's audio and video streams were the features inspiring the name, which is making sense.

To keep referencing the machete, the looks are dull but sturdy. The interface allocates most of its space to the multimedia player. The toolbar and the ribbon beneath are equipped with clear tooltips, facilitating quick and accurate actions. Sadly, the player has no context menu, forcing the user to constantly access the toolbar's Play dropdown menu.

Machete has seemingly nitpicked a handful of video and audio editing features and bundled them together with a player. While not even coming close to a seasoned editor, Machete can still be handy for a basic, undemanding task such as changing metadata info, saving still frames as images, or adding an audio stream over an unrelated clip. Moving forward, one can insert a file within a video not targeting a specific position determined by keyframes.

Despite the somewhat limited number of features, there are hotkeys in place for each action. Open the Shortcuts menu to check out the default binding or make new ones for yourself.

If you are wondering about what formats the tool agrees with, that's not a hefty list. AVI, MP4, 3GP, 3G2, MOV, MKV, WebM, WMV, MP3, WAV, and FLV are supported by Machete, but there's a catch. If you don't have the proper codecs on your system, the application will act up upon opening a video, informing you about the lack of a specific codec.

Besides the funny name, Machete is more of a multimedia player than an editor. While it can perform certain editing jobs, its number is very limited. Still, if you are purposely looking for a not-so-overcomplicated editor for tasks similar to those described above, look no further.
