2.6.5 ChangeLog

  • major fixes to ensure frame accuracy between player and backend. once loaded
    a video framerate is estimated and seeking/stepping by a single step, using
    arrow keys or mouse wheel should be closest to a single frame in either
    direction. when marking cut points the point in time to the millisecond is also
    communicated to the backend. this will all improve even further witha the next
    major release which will encompass a move away from Qt's QMediaPlayer
    widgets which utilise GStreamer (Linux/Mac) and DirectShow (Windows) to a
    libmpv (MPV player) based client.
  • command line argument support added. run the app from the command line
    with --help or -h for the details.
  • logging enabled, all issues to be dealt with can be more easily tracked via
    sharing logs with app author
  • major code restructure for a more pluggable/adaptable architecture ie.
    in future, w/ libmpv if for some reason system cannot support it then
    fallback to existing backend (what we have now w/ GStreamer etc.)

Cross-platform Qt5 based app for quick and easy video trimming/splitting and merging/joining for simple quick edits. FFmpeg drives the backend with a stylishly hand edited Qt5 UI. A FFmpeg static binary is preinstalled for both Windows and macOS releases.

For non-windows, use your o/s package manager if on Linux and homebrew for Mac OS X to manage FFmpeg. It is most likely already installed on your Linux or macOS machine.

Windows + macOS Users

Installers for Windows (64bit + 32bit) and macOS (64bit only) are available below.

Linux Users

Only install via PyPi if you are using something other than ArchLinux or an Ubuntu/Debian derivative (Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary, Debian Jessie etc...)

ArchLinux users can install directly from AUR, package is available in both stable and git-latest versions:

AUR: vidcutter, vidcutter-git

Ubuntu/Mint/Debian users can install via Launchpad PPA.

ppa:ozmartian/apps

If you are new to PPAs then just issue the following commands in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ozmartian/apps
sudo apt-get update

You should now be able to search for vidcutter in your chosen package management software (synaptic, Ubuntu software centre, apt-get etc.)

All other Linux users including Debian users on Debian 8 Jessie or below can install from PyPi can use the AppImage bundled binary package available for download. I've produced a 64bit version but will make 32bit available if requested. For those new to the AppImage concept, just download the file and then make it executable once downloaded. You can then run it, and optionally install it as part of your desktop app menus etc.

chmod +x VidCutter-2.6.5-linux-x64.AppImage

For those running off the source code, please note that you need a minimum of Qt 5.5 and PyQt 5.5 to run the app as it is intended.
