2.5.0 Changelog

  • video seeking is now by frame rather than one second intervals
  • shortcut keys for seeking video updated for frame stepping changes
    (i.e. left-right / mouse wheel = 1 frame; up-down = 10 frames)
  • early & basic support for EDLs. Only the very simple MPlayer EDL standard
    is currently supported but this now allows you to save your clip index for
    a particular video and reload it again in future for recutting etc. If users
    are using VidCutter and would like interchangeable file format support with
    other tools, like ComSkip for example, then submit a feature request at the
    app's GitHub page (more likely to get noticed there rather than launchpad.net)
  • Launchpad PPA now contains a WORKING package for Ubuntu 14 series (Trusty)
    after spending time working out dependencies and testing against a Live CD.
    Installing vidcutter in Trusty should be all thats required and you should have
    the necessary codecs services/decoders all installed to support all the common
    video formats out there. Let me know if you run into problems in this area.
  • AppImage binary now available for this and all future releases to assist Linux
    users only distros other than ArchLinux or an Ubuntu flavour.
  • custom mouse cursor when mouse is over the slider handle (Linux only). this
    always worked for Windows and macOS but the cursor is missing in X11
    standard themes. i think it gives the app more character so gave Linux the
    needed love it deserves.
  • various UI improvements incl. new app icon care of the papirus crew
    at https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam (thx!)
  • bug fixes; the filename set by default in the save video file dialog is now
    the original video's filename with '_EDIT' appended to help avoid accidental
    writing over original source material.
  • i've probably forgotten a number of other important changes and additions
    but its too late to bother sifting through git logs ;-)

Cross-platform Qt5 based app for quick and easy video trimming/splitting and merging/joining for simple quick edits. FFmpeg drives the backend with a stylishly hand edited Qt5 UI. A FFmpeg static binary is preinstalled for both Windows and macOS releases.

For non-windows, use your o/s package manager if on Linux and homebrew for Mac OS X to manage FFmpeg. It is most likely already installed on your Linux or macOS machine.

Windows + macOS Users

Installers for Windows (64bit + 32bit) and macOS (64bit only) are available below.

Linux Users

Only install via PyPi if you are using something other than ArchLinux or an Ubuntu/Debian derivative (Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary, Debian Jessie etc...)

ArchLinux users can install directly from AUR, package is available in both stable and git-latest versions:

AUR: vidcutter, vidcutter-git

Ubuntu/Mint/Debian users can install via Launchpad PPA.

ppa:ozmartian/apps

If you are new to PPAs then just issue the following commands in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ozmartian/apps
sudo apt-get update

You should now be able to search for vidcutter in your chosen package management software (synaptic, Ubuntu software centre, apt-get etc.)

All other Linux users including Debian users on Debian 8 Jessie or below can install from PyPi can use the AppImage bundled binary package available for download. I've produced a 64bit version but will make 32bit available if requested. For those new to the AppImage concept, just download the file and then make it executable once downloaded. You can then run it, and optionally install it as part of your desktop app menus etc.

chmod +x VidCutter-2.5.0-linux-x64.AppImage

For those running off the source code, please note that you need a minimum of Qt 5.5 and PyQt 5.5 to run the app as it is intended.
