About Video Trimmer
Video Trimmer does one job: you open a video, choose a start and end point, and save that section as a new file. Because it avoids re-encoding, trimming is fast and the saved clip keeps the original quality.
It suits Linux desktop users who want to shorten a recording or pull a clip from a longer video without learning a full editor. The project is developed on GNOME's GitLab under the GPLv3 licence and has been around since 2020.
