Does what it says on the tin, and does it pretty well so far. Had a couple videos I just wanted to make quick cuts, and this worked perfect. Quick, to the point and does the job very well.

Interface is good, seems fast, but it messed up creating output. I asked for 3 clips to be output to single file and what I got was clip1 then clip 1 plus the bit between clip1 and 2 then clip 1 again, then ... I gave up and closed the output. Retraced my steps to make sure I wasn't at fault. Time is precious.

It's a simple cut video without recode. Just what I needed.

Free, open source, does the job merging and splitting video files, and automagically updated through the app stores (if you're willing to support)

It's good because it shows the key frames(the I frames) visually in the horizontal bar. I can find easily where the I frames are. Because it's a native Linux app, I don't need to emulate and it's very fast. Moreover it's FOSS.

It just works. Also, handy feature for merging videos. Versions after 3.50 doesn't start on Windows 7 by some reason.

What is LosslessCut?

Simple, cross platform video editor for lossless trimming / cutting of videos. Great for rough processing of large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. Lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard GB of data without losing quality. It doesn't do any decoding / encoding and is therefore extremely fast. Also allows for taking JPEG snapshots of the video at the selected time. This app uses the awesome ffmpeg for doing the grunt work. Also supports lossless cutting in the most common audio formats.
