Video trimming, kept simple

Everything needed to choose and export a local video segment.

01

Open local videos

Open or drag in MP4, MOV, MKV, or M4V files.

02

Preview and navigate

Play supported videos and move through the timeline to find the section you need.

03

Set a precise selection

Drag both trim handles or set the start and end from the current playback position.

04

See the selected duration

Check the selected time range before you export.

05

Export with stream copy

Copy audio and video streams without re-encoding, while keeping the source container extension.

06

Stay in control

Follow export progress, cancel when needed, and reveal the result in Finder.

Keep your original streams

LosslessCut uses stream copy so export avoids the time and quality changes of re-encoding.

01

No re-encoding

FFmpeg copies supported streams into the output file instead of compressing them again.

02

All on your Mac

Your selected video is processed locally; the app does not require a cloud upload for trimming.

03

Know the keyframe limit

Stream-copy cuts may begin before the chosen point, and the resulting duration may exceed the selection.

Made for everyday clip work

Choose a segment from a local video and save it in a few steps.

01

Save a short highlight

Mark the moment you want to keep and export it as a separate video file.

02

Remove unwanted lead-in

Set new start and end points for a local recording without running a full encode.

03

Work with less common formats

Use FFprobe to inspect supported files even when macOS cannot preview their codec.
