This means that you often have to move the **start cut time** to **few frames after** the desired keyframe. - Lossless cutting is not an exact science. For some files, it just works. For others, you may need to trial and error to get the best cut. See [#330](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/330) -- Your mileage may vary when it comes to `Keyframe cut` vs `Normal cut`. Most common video files need `Keyframe cut`, but you may need to try both. [ffmpeg](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Seeking) also has documentation about these two seek/cut modes. In `ffmpeg`, `Keyframe cut` corresponds to `-ss` *before* `-i` and `Normal cut` is `-ss` *after* `-i`. +- Your mileage may vary when it comes to *Keyframe cut mode*. Most common video files need *Keyframe cut* enabled, but you may need to try both values. [ffmpeg](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Seeking) also has documentation about these two seek/cut modes. In `ffmpeg`, *Keyframe cut* corresponds to `-ss` *before* `-i`. - Try to change `avoid_negative_ts` (in export options). - Try also to set the **start**-cutpoint a few frames **before or after** the nearest keyframe (may also solve audio sync issues). - You may try to enable the new "Smart cut" mode to allow cutting between keyframes. However it is very experimental and may not work for many files.
