If you mean scene change detecting, LosslessCut can do that (wrapper around ffmpeg filters)

Not sure what you mean by container repacking, but if you mean "Converting to supported codec", you can try instead from the File menu to convert using the "Fast: Full quality remux (no audio), likely to fail"-method. th

Which exact experience with using an electron app are you talking about that some people don't like? The size or memory usage? I get that some people like to run multiple apps at the same time and are running out of memory, but I think

I just discovered this post, and I'm really happy to see a lot of satisfied long time users as well as excited new users who recently discovered this. I think the most common criticism is that the app is large and uses a lot of memory

If you mean a video where the camera was rotated while recording, I believe no, that's not possible to do losslessly. I believe the orientation flag stored in the metadata cannot change over time. Correct me if I'm wrong. - author

That's very cool! are you using ffmpeg.js?

HEVC is supported in the latest beta version, if your computer has a hardware HEVC decoder. It's a WIP as HEVC support was just recently introduced into Chromium (source: author)

You should try to learn JS - it's really awesome. Asynchronous, incredibly stable, battle tested by billions of users every day, it has one of the best open source module ecosystems in the world, and it runs everywhere.

I might add the ffmpeg-static npm package, then no need for system ffmpeg. But that package does not work on raspberry pi, so yeah.. Downloading and installing static ffmpeg builds from ffmpeg.org is pretty easy these days

No, audio support is very limited for now.

If by mute you mean cut away, then that's not implemented yet. You can achieve an inverse cutting by adding the same clip twice though, with cutFrom and cutTo.

I agree that Electron apps can be slow. I think that has to do with the single thread event loop, which it is very easy to block when doing some heavy processing, if you don't think about it all the time. On the other hand Electron app

That's a bug then: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues Edit: could you check if ffmpeg was still running while it was spinning? Maybe we need to kill it if it takes too long.

Embrace the future :) If you really want a small footprint app, you could build your own electron linked to your locally installed libchromium and locally installed node.js, then you can run the app against your local ffmpeg (from PATH, whi

Yes I had trouble finding it too. I guess it's because the ffmpeg API is so enormous and evolving all the time, that if there was to be node bindings for it, it would have to be maintained by the ffmpeg team. I think the CLI is the mos

I see. That should be possible, yes. If the ffmpeg from electron is built with the necessary features for the CLI and cutting to work. It would however require some quite complicated build scripts, I can imagine.

I don't know what you mean by cross-frame data. The program is using ffmpeg's -ss, -t, and vcodec copy functionality, and I'm not sure how it handles these issues. I know that if you cut between keyframes (which is very likel

Yes, I could call ffmpeg from native code. But it's a bit more of a hassle to do from javascript than to just start the ffmpeg exe. And if the included ffmpeg lib was to crash, I can imagine that the whole application would crash too.

You are correct, it's a GUI for ffmpeg's -ss -t commands. It's always a tradeoff between ease of installation and development for multiple platforms vs reusing already installed components. I know ffmpeg has historically been
