    Linear video editor supporting basic cutting, filtering, encoding, batch scripting, and many formats; ideal for single-file edits, trimming, re-encoding, and simple cleanup but not for multi-track or montage projects requiring nonlinear editing capabilities.

    Decent GUI, not super sleek, but I got used to it pretty quickly. You can cut your video clip and see it on preview, also it allows you to drag the boarders of your cut. It already supports VVC following the most recent updates of FFmpeg.

  5. Standalone media encoding application with robust format support, seamless Adobe app integration, efficient workflow for conversion tasks, and a structured, easy-to-navigate interface.

    Best pro media converter: you can use Autokroma Influx (FFmpeg-based) plugin to import any format that is not supported by default by Media Encoder and also use Voukoder (also FFmpeg-based) plugin that is 100% and can export to any format that is not supported by Media Encoder.
