AudaVid is a specialized version of the Audacity audio editor designed to integrate synchronized video playback. It incorporates a modified VidPlayVST plug-in that allows users to view video content alongside their audio editing projects. This feature makes AudaVid especially useful for media producers who need to compose or edit audio material precisely in sync with video footage.

Operating on Microsoft Windows, AudaVid leverages the FFmpeg library to support a wide range of video and audio file formats. This ensures compatibility with virtually any video file that users may need to work with, providing flexibility in media production workflows. The application can open and play video files smoothly, allowing seamless synchronization between audio and video elements.

AudaVid offers several practical features, including the ability to select specific cues from longer video reels and a loop mode ideal for live presentations or repetitive playback scenarios. The video viewport is resizable and can be detached or viewed full screen, with options to maintain the original aspect ratio or scale the video to fit the window. Users can choose to play the embedded soundtrack or mute it, and there is an option to display SMPTE timecode for precise timing reference.
