While it has been designed for video, it can be used to cut many popular audio formats as well. The program uses the excellent ffmpeg to do the cutting and saving of the resulting video. Lossless Cut does not do any encoding or decoding, and it pretty fast because of that. The captured frame is saved as a jpeg image to the same directory as its video source. This is done by selecting the frame first and clicking on the "capture" button in the program interface afterwards. The only other option provided is to capture single frames. Two to select the start and end position with the mouse, two to set them, and one to save the cut video to the local device. You'd need five clicks to cut a video if that is the case. You may skip the playing entirely however and jump to the parts that you want to cut manually using the mouse. You can play the video in the interface if you want and hit the start and end position for the cutting while it is playing. The process does not overwrite the original video though, as information about the video's start and end time in relation to the original video are added to the file name.


The cut part of the video is saved automatically to the same directory. Drop a video file on the interface, select start and end positions for the cut, and click on the cut button afterwards to cut it. The interface has been streamlined which means that it is dead easy to use. The program is quite the heavyweight when you consider its archive size of 80 Megabytes, but it ships with all components included that you may need to cut a video file.
