In the next article we are going to take a look at LosslessCut. This is considered by some to be the Swiss army knife of video editing.

    I've been using LosslessCut for a few years now. It's really easy and smooth. It does exactly what I want and what the name says, and I couldn't ask for more.

    It is a good tool, but for me it only trims from the keyframes. To trim precisely, it has to re-encode, which, unfortunately, does not work on my machine for some reason. So, I just stick to ffmpeg cli.

      I suppose that makes sense given that information is encoded as a series of key frames interspersed by 'I-frames" that simply encode the delta to the previous key-frame when using most compressed video algorithms. So cutting in-between key-frames doesn't really make sense since the I-frame would no longer have anything to reference it's delta to.
