Since we need an old version of the software for datamoshing purposes, and newer versions of MacOS no longer support running it, we need to use Wine (more info here). Wine enables us to run Windows executables in Linux – like OSes (including MacOS). In order to install it we need to download HomeBrew, which is a package manager – basically a repository of open source software you can install from the command line, which automates many tedious setup steps (more info here).

#AVIDEMUX DATAMOSH INSTALL#Īfter installing HomeBrew and using it to install Wine, we will use Wine to run Avidemux 2.5.6.

In order for this to work, we have to disable Gatekeeper which is a MacOS security layer that only allows us to run apps Apple approved. This is usually a good thing, but since our apps were never meant to run on a Mac we have to circumvent this. You can turn it back on any time, but keep in mind that will render Avidemux and any other Windows apps unusable (since you will have to allow a lot of exceptions in securty settings).ġ) Download Avidemux 2.5.6 64bit (avidemux_2.5.6_win64.zip) for Windows from here and unzip it into a folder on your desktopĢ) Go into System Preferences and select Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services.
