There are caveats, like it doesn't support frame-accurate cuts. Takes just a few minutes to be productive. They are GUIs, but would require entering start/end times manually, so they aren't really GUIs - more like command option entry panels. You could also use mkvtoolgui or any of the ffmpeg GUI tools. It supports a number of EDL formats, which can be useful, but it stopped working for me due to missing dependences in the snap package. I still use this today for very quick edits. I used a script to create an mkvmerge command for a few years. For the types of cutting I do, I'm 100% positive that mkvmerge would do a faster, more efficient job than ffmpeg. I have comskip create the EDLs to premark where commercials are located in recorded TV, then pull the video and EDL into LosslessCut for quick validation before having it export the cuts and merge them into a single file. It isn't perfect, but it does meet your stated needs.
#Vidcutter vs losslesscut software#
It is replace some commercial MS-Windows software I'd been using and upgrading for over a decade. I have been using LosslessCut (which is available as an AppImage) for a few months. If you need transitions, titles, credits, then those are probably what you want. Both are very heavy programs and have a huge list of features that take multiple tutorials to learn, IME. Most popular video editors like OpenShot and KDenLive will re-encode the video, losing quality in the effort. Heck, you can use handbrake to clip the beginning and end off any video if you like.
I've looked for programs like this for years.
