# LosslessCut 🎥 []()
|
|
|
|
Simple, cross platform video editor for lossless trimming / cutting of videos. Great for rough processing of large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. Lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard GB of data without losing quality. It doesn't do any decoding / encoding and is therefore extremely fast. Also allows for taking JPEG snapshots of the video at the selected time. This app uses the awesome ffmpeg🙏 for doing the grunt work. Also supports lossless cutting in the most common audio formats.

## Documentation
|
|
|
|
### Supported platforms
|
|
- Mac OS X
|
|
- Windows (64/32bit)
|
|
- Linux (64/32bit, not tested)
|
|
|
|
### Supported formats
|
|
|
|
Since LosslessCut is based on Chromium and uses the HTML5 video player, not all ffmpeg supported formats will be supported.
|
|
The following formats/codecs should generally work: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, OGG, WAV, MP3, AAC, H264, Theora, VP8, VP9
|
|
For more information about supported formats / codecs, see https://www.chromium.org/audio-video.
|
|
|
|
### Typical flow
|
|
- Drag drop a video file into player to load or use <kbd>⌘</kbd>/<kbd>CTRL</kbd>+<kbd>O</kbd>.
|
|
- Press <kbd>SPACE</kbd> to play/pause
|
|
- Select the cut start and end time
|
|
- Press the scissors button to export the slice
|
|
- Press the camera button to take a snapshot
|
|
|
|
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 lost. EXIF data is preserved.
|
|
|
|

### Known issues
