  • Professional codecs including ProRes, DNxHR, AV1 and VP9 alongside the usual ones
  • Lossless cut, trim, remux, stream extraction and audio replacement
  • Lossless trimming and cutting with an almost direct data copy, so it is extremely fast
  • Discards gigabytes from camera or drone footage without a re-encode and without quality loss
  • The interface exposes a lot at once and takes orientation
  • Java-based, so it is a heavier install than the FFmpeg it drives
  • Cuts land on keyframes unless you allow a re-encode, so trims are not always frame exact
  • It is a cutting tool, not an editor: no titles, transitions or colour work
