First release of ClipSmith — a small, fast desktop app for Mac and Windows that cuts a clip out of any video, with an optional crop.

Features

  • Frame-accurate trimming — drag the IN/OUT handles to any exact frame (no keyframe snapping). Re-encodes the selected range with H.264 (libx264).
  • Crop — toggle a draggable, resizable rectangle over the video to crop the output frame.
  • Import from a URL — paste a YouTube (or other site) link, or a direct video link.
  • Zoomable filmstrip timeline, looping playback with audio, frame stepping, and keyboard shortcuts.
  • Export to H.264/AAC .mp4 with a real progress bar.

License

ClipSmith is GPL-3.0 (changed from MIT). The frame-accurate cut and crop re-encode with libx264, which is GPL; bundling it makes the whole app GPL — the standard situation for open-source video tools.

Install

  • macOS: download the universal .dmg (runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel). Unsigned, so first launch: right-click the app → Open → Open.
  • Windows: download the .msi (or .exe). SmartScreen may warn on an unsigned app; choose More info → Run anyway.
