What is Fast Cut?

Fast Cut allows to visually cut and join videos then export them losslessly.

The main purposes are to

  • join camcorder footages and
  • clean a recording from the commercial breaks.

Fast Cut provides a graphical user interface for FFmpeg, you could use your own ffmpeg binaries. It is based on luajls and supports both Linux and Windows OSes. Mac OS is not supported as I do not have access to.

The main supported format is MPEG Transport Stream (ts, m2ts) to MPEG-4 Part 14 (mp4), but any FFmpeg supported format could be used.

If you need advanced features you could try LosslessCut or OpenShot.

What are the features?

Fast Cut provides:

  • frame preview, no audio
  • preview time line with cut parts
  • binary search to find a cut point
  • lossless export when supported by codecs and format
  • could run on a remote server such as a NAS
  • small, under 1Mb without FFmpeg
  • plain lua, html and javascript, no compiler

What does it look like?
