About Footage
Footage is a desktop app for the GNOME desktop that handles the common quick edits to a video file: trimming the start and end, cropping the frame, flipping or rotating it, and converting it to another format.
It is a simple tool rather than a timeline editor, suited to Linux users who need to tidy up a clip before sharing it. The source is published on GitLab under the GPLv3.
Strengths

LosslessCut
Trims and joins video and audio without re-encoding, so a cut takes seconds instead of an hour.
LosslessCut runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and cuts, merges and extracts tracks without re-encoding, though cuts land on keyframes unless you allow a re-encode.
Avidemux
A simple video editor for cutting, filtering and encoding, aimed at trimming and converting rather than full editing.
Avidemux runs on Windows, macOS and Linux with filtering, encoding and instant lossless copy-mode cuts, but its interface is dated and its last stable release is from 2022.
Video Trimmer
A small GNOME app for cutting a section out of a video without re-encoding it.
Video Trimmer is another GNOME app that cuts without re-encoding for quick, lossless trims, but it only trims and offers no conversion or other editing.
Shutter Encoder
A professional transcoding and media processing front end for FFmpeg, with batch queues, presets and genuinely lossless operations.
Shutter Encoder is a cross-platform FFmpeg front end with lossless cut, trim, remux and professional codecs, but its Java-based interface exposes many options at once.
HandBrake
A video converter that turns files and unprotected discs into MP4, MKV or WebM with presets for common devices.
HandBrake converts files to MP4, MKV or WebM with device presets and filters on Windows, macOS and Linux, but every conversion re-encodes the video.
