Lossless Cut, the popular free open-source video cutting/trimming tool, updated recently with full-screen support.
There are a few tools to cut out a fragment of a video in Linux, besides using heavy video editor application (e.g., Kdenlive and OpenShot). They include Video Trimmer, VidCutter.
However, Lossless Cut is my top favorite one! It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data. It’s extremely fast because it does almost direct data copy instead of re-encoding with the power of FFmpeg library.
Add video filters -> BLACKDETECT in app menu: create clips via black frame detection.
Automatic chapters created per clip in your list
Add “Edit chapter name” option to right-click on a click option.
External media file joins issue were fixed.
Added new “Enable use of PBOs” setting under the Video category
OSD (on-screen display) text defined for all user actions + standardised OSD case and wording/format.
Improvements to Snap, Appimage, Flatpak, and UI.
