![]() ![]() Because the more features an editor has, the more complex it becomes. Some of those tools are also used for editing Hollywood movies.īut as a regular desktop Linux user, you might not need a feature-rich video editor. You can use them for professional video editing. There are a number of video editors available for Linux. It’s an effortless video splitter for Linux. These films are already poor quality, losing a little can be harsh.Brief: If you want a no-nonsense tool that just lets you cut parts of your videos, give LosslessCut a try. I don’t want to lose that compatibility or quality. But I see no way to change them, which makes me think it’s the latter? Or maybe VSDC just preserves the original settings?īut I read that Shotcut will make huge files at 100% and they may be incompatible with certain players/devices. Click the Export Project tab and you are shown a list of specifications, although it’s not clear if these are the export settings or the current settings of the original file. ![]() VSDC however, doesn’t seem to suffer this issue. It probably requires a lot of knowledge to do this, but some apps, like Handbrake make this easier. I’m just confused how you can have quality OR size but not both? When there are clearly ways to have both as can be seen by downloading any recent film. I was always puzzled by this as I’ve seen full HD videos that are stored as 720p resolution?īut I did set Shotcut’s output to 65% so I assume that is a factor. Is this the displayed resolution? or is it something more to do with how the codec stores the video. But I don’t know what the settings indicate.įor example, resolution. In Shotcut, it’s fairly obvious via the export panel. ![]() Or you could contact the developer.Īs you know, I have little idea on how to use these apps, so am not able to locate exactly where to even change these settings. I have not looked at the code, but someone may able to say with confidence if they have. ![]() So there may be some metadata work that isn’t being done properly, or isn’t really able to be done with the method LosslessCut uses chopping up the video data as simply as it does. I also think Windows movie player wouldn’t play some. Sometimes it will show up with the same original length of the video and when you play it, it will be black screen on either side of the part you kept in LosslessCut. And I have to say I have had some odd playback with different players, and also with Shotcut, on those video files I’ve made using LosslessCut. I know some video formats will work fine like that, but I’m definitely not sure about all. I think it’s very simply done like that, no re-encoding at all, so no data loss. And my guess is it actually just cuts out the data in the chunk to be removed (or more precisely it writes a new file but leaves out the chunks on either side of the selection). It seems to cut the video only at certain points… you can’t fine tune where it cut, it’s fairly coarse. I will make an educated guess here because I’ve actually done some data processing roughly chopping up video with my own code before and I think it is indeed lossless. Also LosslessCut’s interface is really quick to use, play, hit one key for beginning point and another key for end point. And I don’t want to keep all the 5 minute long original files after the project either, so trimming them before going to Shotcut makes sense. Some of those are 5 minute long dashcam videos where I only want to really include just 10 seconds or so. I have used it quite a bit, particularly for trimming down videos before I include them in a slideshow with Shotcut later. I was going to mention LosslessCut if it wasn’t here already. ![]()
