Fast Cut allows to visually cut and join videos then export them losslessly.
The main purposes are to
- join camcorder footages and
- clean a recording from the commercial breaks.
Fast Cut provides a graphical user interface for FFmpeg, you could use your own ffmpeg binaries. It is based on luajls and supports both Linux and Windows OSes. Mac OS is not supported as I do not have access to.
The main supported format is MPEG Transport Stream (ts, m2ts) to MPEG-4 Part 14 (mp4), but any FFmpeg supported format could be used.
If you need advanced features you could try LosslessCut or OpenShot.
Fast Cut provides:
- frame preview, no audio
- preview time line with cut parts
- binary search to find a cut point
- lossless export when supported by codecs and format
- could run on a remote server such as a NAS
- small, under 1Mb without FFmpeg
- plain lua, html and javascript, no compiler
