LosslessCut overview
LosslessCut is a simple and ultra fast cross platform tool for lossless trimming/cutting of video and audio files. Great for saving space by rough cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. It extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy. It uses the awesome ffmpeg (included) for doing the grunt work.
Features:
- Lossless cutting of common video and audio formats
- Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format
- Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos. Great for rotating phone videos that turns out the wrong way without actually re-encoding the video.
- Manual input range of cutpoints
- Can include more than 2 streams or remove audio track (optional)
Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Please consider making a donation to help support development.

Version: 3.61.1
For the Intel 64 version, disk image couldn't be opened. No mountable file system. Got same result whether I used the MacUpdate dmg or the one from GitHub. YMMV.

The INTEL download link here at MU is currently 404. Use this: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases/latest/download/LosslessCut-mac-x64.dmg - - The ARM version link is fine.

Almost all of these 5-star reviews are extremely suspect. Proceed with caution.
