Quickly Trim and Cut Videos - Avidemux and LosslessCut

A video cutting tool is a purpose-built application for cutting smaller parts of a larger video and then saving those clips as one or more new video files.

Traditional video editors typically take multiple source files of varying types (different file types, audio and video codecs, containers and so on) and combine them into a project which is then rendered as a single, high-quality output file. Video cutting tools are much simpler, taking a single input file and reusing the same video and audio formats of the source formats when exporting. Skipping the need to render a new file makes the output process much faster than using a traditional video editing program.
