What Lossless Cut does
LosslessCut is a video and audio editing app that the page describes as the Swiss Army Knife of lossless video and audio editing, by Mikael Finstad. It cuts, trims and merges media without re-encoding, and the page says quality is not reduced. Named features include lossless merging of files with identical codec parameters, stream editing, track extraction, remuxing, full-resolution snapshots, timeline zoom with keyframe jumping, auto-saved cut segments, and segment CSV import and export. Platforms are macOS, Windows and Linux. The page says start times round to the nearest previous keyframe, so it is not for exact cuts. A free version is available as GitHub downloads, a paid version is sold in app stores, and donations are accepted.
