# LosslessCut 🎥  [](https://paypal.me/mifino)
|
|
|
|
**The swiss army knife of lossless video/audio editing**
|
|
|
|
LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform ffmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files.
|
|
The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome ffmpeg which does all the grunt work.

**Shameless Plug**
|
|
|
|
I made a tool for cross platform sharing of files between computer/phone over the local network: [ezshare](https://github.com/mifi/ezshare)
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats
|
|
- Losslessly cut out parts of video/audio (for cutting away commercials etc.)
|
|
- Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from same camera)
|
|
- Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file)
|
|
- Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle and other tracks from one file into separate files)
|
|
- Remux into any compatible output format
|
|
- Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format
|
|
- Manual input of cutpoint times
|
|
- Apply a per-file timecode offset
|
|
- Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos
|
|
- View technical data about all streams
|
|
- Timeline zoom and frame/keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes
|
|
- Saves per project cut segments to project file
|
|
- View ffmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line
|
|
- Undo/redo
|
|
- Give labels to cut segments
|
|
- View segment details, export/import cut segments as CSV
|
|
- Video thumbnails and audio waveform
|
|
|
|
## Example lossless use cases
|
|
|
|
### Remove audio tracks from a file
|
|
|
|
### Add music to a video (or replace existing audio track)
|
|
|
|
### Include a subtitle into a video
|
|
|
|
### Extract music track from a video and cut it to your needs
|
|
|
|
### Cut out commercials from a recorded TV show
|
|
|
|
Without having to re-encode. You can also change format from TS to MP4 at the same time.
|
|
|
|
### Fix rotation of a video that has the wrong orientation flag set
|
|
|
|
Great for rotating phone videos that come out the wrong way without actually re-encoding the video.
|
|
|
|
### Quickly change a H264 MKV video to MOV or MP4 for playback on iPhone
|
|
|
|
### Import a list of cut times from other tool as a EDL (edit decision list, CSV) and run these cuts with LosslessCut
|
|
|
|
### Export a list of cut times as a CSV EDL and run these in another tool
|
|
|
|
### Loop a video / audio clip X times quickly without re-encoding
|
|
See [#284](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/284)
|
|
|
|
### Advanced multi-step workflows
|
|
|
|
**Tip:** you can use LosslessCut in multiple passes in order to achieve separate trimming of individual tracks:
|
|
1. Open a file an export all tracks
|
|
2. Open the exported track files independently and cut them as desired
|
|
3. Add the track back to the video and combine them to one output video
|
|
|

|
## Supported formats
|
|
|
|
Since LosslessCut is based on Chromium and uses the HTML5 video player, not all ffmpeg supported formats will be supported smoothly.
|
|
The following formats/codecs should generally work: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, OGG, WAV, MP3, AAC, H264, Theora, VP8, VP9
|
|
For more information about supported formats / codecs, see https://www.chromium.org/audio-video.
|
|
|
|
Unsupported files can still be converted to a friendly format/codec from the `File` menu. (Try fastest variant first.) A low quality version of the file (without audio) will then be created and opened in the player. The cut/export operation will still be performed on the original file, so it will be lossless. This allows for potentially opening any file that ffmpeg is able to decode.
|
|
|
|
## Typical workflow
|
|
- Drag drop a video file into player or use <kbd>⌘</kbd>/<kbd>CTRL</kbd>+<kbd>O</kbd>.
|
|
- Press <kbd>SPACE</kbd> to play/pause or <kbd>◀</kbd><kbd>▶</kbd>, <kbd>,</kbd><kbd>.</kbd> or mouse/trackpad wheel to seek back/forth
|
|
- Select the cut segment's start and end time by moving the time marker and then pressing <kbd>I</kbd> to set start time, and <kbd>O</kbd> to set end time. *Note that the segments you select will be **preserved** and exported to a new file. You can change this behavior with the Yin Yang symbol ☯️, in which case it will instead **remove** all selected segments and export the parts between.*
|
|
- *(optional)* If you want to add more than one segment, move to the desired start time and press <kbd>+</kbd>, then select the next segment start/end times with <kbd>I</kbd>/<kbd>O</kbd>.
|
|
- *(optional)* If you want to re-merge all the selected segments to one file after cutting, toggle the button `Separate files` to `Merge cuts`.
|
|
- *(optional)* If you want to export to a certain dir, press the `Working dir unset` button (default: Input file path)
|
|
- *(optional)* If you want to change orientation, press the rotation button
|
|
- *(optional)* By default, audio, video and subtitle tracks from the input file will be cut and exported. Press the `Tracks` button to customise and/or add new tracks from other files.
|
|
- *(optional)* select a new output format
|
|
- Press the `Export` button (or <kbd>E</kbd>) to run the export
|
|
- Press the camera button (or <kbd>C</kbd>) if you want to take a JPEG/PNG snapshot from the current time
|
|
- If you want to move the original file to trash, press the trash button
|
|
- For best results you may need to trial and error with another output format (matroska takes nearly everything), change keyframe cut mode or disable some tracks, see known issues below.
|
|
|
|
Note: The original video file will not be modified. Instead it creates a lossless export to a new file in the same directory as the original file with from/to timestamps.
|
|
|
|
Note also that the cut is currently not precise around the cutpoints, so video before/after the nearest keyframe will be discarded. EXIF metadata is preserved.
|
|
|
|
## Keyboard shortcuts
|
|
Press <kbd>H</kbd> To show/hide list of shortcuts
|
|
|
|
## Known issues & limitations
|
|
|
|
- **Cutting times are not accurate and will be "rounded" to the nearest keyframe.** There are wishes to implement a "smart cut" feature that re-encodes only the part before the keyframe, see [#126](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/126)
|
|
- Your mileage may vary when it comes to `Keyframe cut` vs `Normal cut`. You may need to try both, depending on the video. See [ffmpeg](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Seeking) also has documentation about these two seek/cut modes. `Keyframe cut` means `-ss` *before* `-i` and `Normal cut` means `-ss` *after* `-i`.
|
|
- When exporting you may lose some proprietary data tracks (like `tmcd`, `fdsc` and `gpmd` added by GoPro). These can be exported to separate files however
|
|
- H265 is not supported natively. There is partial support with very low FPS and no audio preview. Alternatively convert to friendly codec (slow) from the menu, see [#88](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/88)
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
- If you get an error when cutting or opening any kind of file under Windows, please check your anti-virus. It might be blocking execution of ffmpeg, see [#18](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/18)
|
|
- If you get an error on Linux like `FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now.`, try to run it as `./lossless-cut --no-sandbox`. See #258
|
|
- If any other problem, please read existing issues or file an issue here on github.
|
|
|
|
## CSV import/export
|
|
|
|
The CSV export/import function takes csv files with one cut segment on each line. Each line contains three columns: `segment start`, `segment end`, `label`.
|
|
|
|
`segment start` and `segment end` are expressed in seconds or left empty. Empty `segment end` means segment ends at the duration of the video.
|
|
|
|
Note that you must use comma `,` to separate the fields (not semicolon `;`)
|
|
|
|
### example.csv
|
|
```csv
|
|
,56.9568,First segment starting at 0
|
|
70,842.33,"Another quoted label"
|
|
1234,,Last segment
|
|
```
