SimpleVideoCutter: How to Cut Video the Simple Way

Simple Video Cutter is a program that lets you do basic video editing in a few steps, with a very well-designed interface that is extremely easy to use. Everything is so simple that even a user with no knowledge of video editing will master the platform in seconds. The current version of the utility supports the following video formats: MP4, WMV, MOV, AVI, and RM.

In short, if you only need to make a cut in your video without having to add any other effect or transitions, without a doubt SimpleVideoCutter is the program you are looking for.

First you will need to download SimpleVideoCutter from the GitHub page. Then you will need to unzip the file and run the platform. For its correct functioning, the environment needs to work with FFmpeg, the codec responsible for processing video files, so if you do not have it installed you will have to do so. With everything ready, when you open SimpleVideoCutter, you should go to the "Settings" section and select the path of the ffmpeg.exe file.

At this point, you will be able to select the video you need to edit from its file explorer. Remember that the supported formats are: MP4, WMV, MOV, AVI, and RM. In its interface you will see a large work area from which the video will start playing automatically; you can stop it with the spacebar, and you also have playback controls at the top. In the left and top panels of the platform's interface, you will find all the tools for cutting the video:

• Set start (set the start)
• Set end (set the end)
• Play range (play segment)
• Clear selection (clear selection)
• Go to start (go to start)
• Go to end (go to end)
• Zoom out
• Current position (current position)
• Enqueue (put in queue)

How to Cut Video with Simple Video Cutter

On the timeline (bottom), there is a set of vertical lines that help you locate the playback of the video. Simply move the mouse cursor over the time bar and you will see a preview of the video (pop-up window) that will show you the exact frame of the video for a precise cut.

To make the cut, just click on the timeline at the frame where you want to set the start of the video. To set that start position, use the "Set start" option. Then you just need to select the end of the video and set it with "Set end". After this action, you will see that the selected clip is highlighted.

When you click the "Play range" button, you will have a video preview of the selected area (for the cut). If it is the clip you want, simply click "Enqueue" to remove the selected part of the video and perform the export with the cut made. If you are not satisfied with the selection, just click "Clear selection" and perform the action again.

Simple Video Cutter is a very simple platform for cutting videos, without fuss, and it does what it is supposed to do, and does it very well. If you are looking for a utility with other transitions (fades, crossfades) and visual effects, Simple Video Cutter is not the environment you are looking for.
