LosslessCut is a free, platform independent video editing software, which supports numerous audio, video and container formats.
It is a graphical user interface, with macOS, Windows and Linux support, using the FFmpeg multimedia framework. The software focuses on the lossless editing of the video files. By copying the selected image sequences without transcoding or re-rendering, it achieves very fast creation of the target file in comparison to tools that re-encode frames.
Completely lossless copying is achieved when the source file is cut at the reference frames of a group of pictures only. This is being visualised when operating the program.
With a size short of 100 MB, the software is small and portable, thus it can be started from an external storage medium without prior installation. The FFmpeg framework needs to be present on the computer already.
