\"\"<\/p>\n

Want to cut a clip out of a video and share with your friends? Try Video Trimmer, a stupid easy way for those working on Linux.<\/p>\n

In Linux there are quite a few ways to cut clips or trim videos either in graphical or using command line tools. While video editors are heavy to do the job, FFmpeg<\/code> is the most efficient choice. And Video Trimmer offers an intuitive user interface for those hate Linux commands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a free and open-source GTK app based on FFmpeg. By importing video via top-left “Open” button, you can preview the video and write down the start and end timestamps. And the top-left button turns to ‘Trim<\/b>‘ for cutting the clip out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It outputs the clip as a new video file. And the process is super fast<\/b> and does not reduce the video quality, because it just cuts the data steam but never re-code.<\/p>\n

Install Video Trimmer in Linux:<\/h3>\n

The source code of the project is hosted on gitlab<\/a>. Besides building from the source, you can install it on most Linux via the Flatpak package.<\/p>\n
