How to join two or more videos into a single video, using a free tool called Losslesscut. With Losslesscut you can combine videos into one, provided they have the same resolution, framerate and codec, without re-encoding. This is very fast and easy, it takes only a few seconds and I've used it to combine multiple videos in one, such as a long course that I edited as a multi-part course, and uploaded as a single video.

Losslesscut allows you to simply drag all your videos on top of the window, confirm the order you want them in the final video. It allows you to rearrange the videos and then you click 'Merge' and it will export a final video with all of them combined.

Hoy da lo ms comn es hacer una grabacin en video o audio con los celulares, debido principalmente a que siempre los cargamos encima y resultan muy cmodos, luego es muy posible que queramos cortar partes de esos videos o audios para publicarlos en redes o quizs necesitamos extraer el audio de un video por ejemplo.

Cualquiera que trabaje habitualmente con editores de video no lineales sabe que luego de quitar partes de un clip se debe renderizar nuevamente el proyecto y eso lleva un buen tiempo dependiendo de la duracin del video y la potencia del dispositivo en el que estemos trabajando.

La herramienta de la que les voy a contar puede quitar partes de un video o audio en segundos (literalmente lo que se demora en copiar y pegar un archivo) ya que toma segmentos del video y los copia a un nuevo archivo sin recodificar y sin perdida de calidad.

Se trata de LosslessCut una interfaz grfica para el conocido y poderoso FFmpeg (si una ms para la coleccin) especializada en unas pocas tareas pero que las hace bien y rpido. Su principal cometido es cortar o trozar videos y generar uno nuevo con las partes que decidimos mantener y adems cada segmento que mantenemos tambin en archivos separados. Pero no es lo nico que puede hacer.

Sin embargo tiene una opcin experimental que podemos elegir al generar el/los archivos llamada Smart cut que intenta darle precisin a los cortes renderizando un pequeo tramo desde el punto de corte elegido al fotograma clave anterior ms prximo, esto obviamente hace un poco ms lento el proceso pero la verdad es muy poco ya que no debe renderizar todo el video. En lo personal me ha funcionado muy bien con archivos en H264 y VP9

Por suerte si dispone de una appimage que solo debemos descargar y darle permisos de ejecucin para poder correrla sin instalacin. Pueden descargar la appimage o ver los otros mtodos de instalacin desde su sititio en github, dems est decir que es software libre bajo licencia GPL2.

Este otro video es un tutorial ms completo de 45 min para los que tienen paciencia e inters en aprender otras funcionalidades como extraer audio de un video, concatenar archivos y mucho ms. El video anterior de uso bsico es un resumen de este cortado con LosslessCut.

Hiyer Mr mikewalsh,
I have a desktop unit running FossaPup64 (9.5) set up for a video editing project, and installed Kdenlive19.12.3 via the fossa quickpet. Nice, but a bit behind the latest version 21.12.2 - which is available as an AppImage for Linux - and prolly geared up for Ubuntu as it seems to be otherwise available on the Ubuntu ppa. Anyways, after made executable as you indicate earlier, I'm stumped that the latest AppImage doesn't work OOTB in FossaPup64- a title screen flashes up and drops out. Nothing is generated in /tmp either. Is there a method to check for incompatibilities etc to solve this? (The nightly build Olive-76831a2b-Linux-x86_64.AppImage works OOTB, by contrast) I'll revert to trying out the PPA method I guess, and see what dependencies might be otherwise missing. Thanks for your work in the AppImage area
