#Vidcutter vs losslesscut upgrade#

While ffmpeg can do a lot of things just by issuing some options at the cmd line, it is not equivalent to GUI-based video editors - or at least it's not as much convenient as the GUI-based applictions.ĭefinitely ffmpeg is not an efficient solution in case when one would like to just quickly test several *special effects* applied/inserted into a video stream.

If you just do a few clips then I can see some might like something your granny could use. If you're on a minimal system or going to do lots of editing then I say learn ffmpeg because it's no harder than a learning full blow GUI application. I re-encoded, scaled, cropped and played with it all using ffmpeg and ffplay before sending it back to her fixed!. Nearly 150MB mostly boring with the interesting bit near the end. I have 'sc' to do a screencast, how simple is that! I keep a record of any options I use and build up a bank of useful commands and scripts.Į.g My daughter does a bit of boldering and fell off, Sent me the video. The advantage of ffmpeg is it's the same across distros and OS's and you can chuck the commands in a script.

There is no way I'm going to upgrade and build a load of video editors from source.

I have no choice, the only other video editing application I have on my system is blender. Now I do all my screencasts and editing with ffmpeg. I had a version of final cup pro back in the day cost like a £1000 when I switched to Debian it went in the bin
