 **The swiss army knife of lossless video/audio editing**
 
 LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform ffmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related files.
-The main feature is lossless trimming/cutting of video and audio files. Great for saving space by rough cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome ffmpeg for doing the grunt work.

 ## Features
 - Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats
 - Losslessly cut out parts of video/audio (for cutting away commercials etc.)
 - Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from same camera)
 - Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file)
 - Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle and other tracks from one file into separate files)
-- Remux into different output format
+- Remux into any compatible output format
 - Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format
 - Manual input range of cutpoints
 - Apply a timecode offset
 - Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos
 - View technical data about all streams
+- Timeline zoom and frame/keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes
+- Saves per project cut segments to project file
+- View ffmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line
+- Undo/redo
+- Give labels to cut segments
+- View segment details, export/import cut segments as CSV

-Unsupported files can be remuxed (fast) or encoded (slow) to a friendly format/codec from the `File` menu. A processed version of the file (without audio) will then be created and opened in the player. The cut/export operation will still be performed on the original file, so it will be lossless. This allows for potentially opening any file that ffmpeg is able to decode.

 - For best results you may need to trial and error with another output format (matroska takes nearly everything), change keyframe cut mode or disable some tracks, see known issues below.
 
-Note: The original video files will not be modified. Instead it creates a lossless export in the same directory as the original file with from/to timestamps. Note that the cut is currently not precise around the cutpoints, so video before/after the nearest keyframe will be discarded. EXIF metadata is preserved.

+## CSV format
+
+The CSV export/import function takes csv files with one cut segment on each line. Each line contains three columns: `segment start`, `segment end`, `label`.
+
+`segment start` and `segment end` are expressed in seconds or left empty. Empty `segment end` means segment ends at the duration of the video
+
+### example.csv
+```csv
+,56.9568,First segment starting at 0
+70,842.33,"Another quoted label"
+1234,,Last segment
+```
+
 ## Known issues & limitations
+
 - **Cutting times are not accurate and will be "rounded" to the nearest keyframe.** In the future I plan on showing keyframes in the timecale, and eventually implement a "smart cut" feature that re-encodes only the part before the keyframe. See [#126](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/126)
 - Your mileage may vary when it comes to `Keyframe cut` vs `Normal cut`. You may need to try both, depending on the video. See [ffmpeg](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Seeking) also has documentation about these two seek/cut modes. `Keyframe cut` means `-ss` *before* `-i` and `Normal cut` means `-ss` *after* `-i`.
 - When exporting you may lose some proprietary data tracks (like `tmcd`, `fdsc` and `gpmd` added by GoPro). These can be exported to separate files however
 - H265 is not supported natively. There is partial support with very low FPS and no audio preview. Alternatively convert to friendly codec (slow) from the menu, see [#88](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/88)

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 - If you get an error when cutting or opening any kind of file under Windows, please check your anti-virus. It might be blocking execution of ffmpeg, see [#18](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/18)
