LosslessCut makes it very easy to cut out a section of video. It can also arrange sequences of cuts. It is very fast because it does not reformat the data; that also means it doesn't degrade the quality.
It only reliably cuts at video keyframes; this could be an issue if you want 100% precision on your cuts. It does not attempt other editing tasks such as reformat or region crop.
Like many video editors it is a GUI to ffmpeg. You can see the ffmpeg commands generated and use them outside LosslessCut if necessary.
For lossless cut, there's the LosslessCut [1] app, which even has an experimental but mostly working version of a "smart cut" feature [2] (aka. Only re-encode the minimal mandatory amount of frames if you trim at a point between 2 key frames) [1]: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut. - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago
> thought I cropped/edited a video, it is still there in full length and resolution It's been possible to create a clip from a video file that merely changes what parts of the video are displayed without effecting the data in the original since the Classic Mac OS days. If you want to completely remove unwanted portions of a video to reduce the size without a loss of quality, there are many options. LosslessCut is... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
Https://www.vapoursynth.com/ I have seen some niche software built on ffmpeg like losslesscut: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut But I don't know anything "comprehensive.". - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
Lossless Cut is probably the simplest way to cut out parts of a video without having to re-encode it or use an online service. It is open source, free and available for all platforms. It is in essence a frontend for FFMPEG and cuts without re-encoding, so the results are instantaneous. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
Additionally I would like if possible to shorten (both to reduce dimension and to make them less boring) my videos by trimming the beginning and/or ends where often there is nothing interesting happening and possibly change the thumbnails for easier identification. Do you know of any tool that does the job with the minimum quality degradation possible? Many years ago I've tried with some videos and a tool I don't... Source: 7 months ago
Lossless Cut would probably be a better choice for this. Will let you cut out the commercials without having to re-encode the video. Source: 8 months ago

You don't have to find a different file, you can just export this one in a .mp4 container, you can use LosslessCut to do this in 5 seconds. Source: 10 months ago
https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut is another great ffmpeg-based tool. For me it is a starting point for blocking videos out of fragments. It works immediately and has nice UI (not just "enter time into integer fields"). - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
The reason I'm doubting is that a) The source got many good reviews (Site) and no one said nothing about malware b) I've checked LosslessCut from Github, which is open-source and pretty famous and the detection is similar to Photoshop: LosslessCut Analysis. Source: 11 months ago
You are better off converting your video file to something that you can use. So, you can use Shutter Encoder, Handbrake, or LosslessCut to convert your source footage in to either an MP4 video or even better, to a proper editing codec. Source: 11 months ago
Ignore everything you've read so far and use LosslessCut. Basically all speedrunners use it. This program doesn't rerender your video and just cuts at keyframes so it only takes seconds after selecting the range you had to output the shortend video instead of minutes when rerendering. It won't be 100% accurate on where you put the start or end time but you're just trying to cut down footage so that doesn't matter.... Source: 11 months ago
Let me introduce you to a wonderful bit of software called Losslesscut, an amazing application that lets you trim videos; and even multiple sections out of videos without any loss or even conversion. It’s free but do consider donating to the creator. You can even set parameters to how the videos are then renamed. Source: 11 months ago
I think a GUI tool like LosslessCut would be more convenient (it uses ffmpeg under the hood): https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut. Source: 11 months ago
Confirming this is the product you are referring to: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut - TIA! Source: 12 months ago
You can always crop the video later with lossless cut but yeah idk any gui that combines the two functions, but there might be one out there (I use command line so I never looked too into it). Source: 12 months ago

If you just want to split up a video file, consider lossless cut instead - will be faster than Premiere as it mostly avoids re-encoding. Source: 12 months ago
You can open the file in LosslessCut and export it in a different container. Source: about 1 year ago
LosslessCut is not just simple, it preserves video quality to the extent possible. Source: about 1 year ago
Honestly for such a task I would use losslesscut, a ffmpeg gui designed for this exact kind of task. Source: about 1 year ago
