ChibiChops is a lightweight application for creating video cuts and converting video formats.
The project's goal is to provide a simple, fast, and practical way to handle common utility editing tasks, such as trimming video segments and converting files between popular formats, without the complexity of a traditional video editor.
ChibiChops focuses on speed and lightweight performance.
Instead of trying to compete with full editing suites, the app was designed to handle straightforward everyday tasks:
- trim video segments
- export clips quickly
- convert files between different formats
- simplify common operations with a more accessible interface
- provide a streamlined workflow for users who just want to open, trim, and export
To run the project locally, you will generally need:
- FFmpeg installed and available on your system
- FFprobe installed and available on your system
- JDK 17+ (if running from source code)
- VLC 3.x
- Windows, Linux, or another environment compatible with the project's dependencies
Install VLC and FFmpeg on your system, and make sure the ffmpeg and ffprobe executables are accessible from the terminal or properly configured in your system PATH.
