Don't think I need it (using ffmpeg directly or Kdenlive if I need fine edits) but to know that it exists brings me joy, so thank you!

You are welcome! It is nice when you need to quickly crop or trim something and don’t want to launch a video editing app. The repo is owned by a friend, you can leave a star to make him happy :)

The intermediary solution for me between ffmpeg and kdenlive is LosslessCut (https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut). Also free and open-source... of course it look less cool than a Terminal UI like the OP, but it's very practical when I don't want to reencode everything, or if I just need to change the format of container (MP4, MKV, etc.).

Lossless-cut has both an HTTP api and a CLI so it could be controlled via a lightweight TUI if someone wanted.
