Shotcut: Free, open source, cross-platform video editor

Not really on-topic. But the same folks who have an interest in the subject might know.

I'm looking for a timeline editor in javascript which allows me to build an object to pass to ffmpeg to inject content at certain intervals.

Much like what gifs.com [0] does.

I have found this [1]: but it's not really what I am looking for.

If anyone has come across something similar, let me know. Thanks

I've been using Kdenlive for moderately complex projects (now editing an action short and my first feature film!), and I've found it surprisingly good. It does crash every once in a while but generally does what it's supposed to do.

It's a shame that interop with Shotcut isn't great, even though both save their projects as MLT XML. I think there's just one property that you need to add to a Kdenlive XML to make it readable by Shotcut (something like shotcut="1"). That said, I think Shotcut makes much cleaner XMLs.

Tried Davinci Resolve as well. I generally like it, but find it less intuitive to use than Kdenlive (surprisingly, given one is commercial and the other is open source).

One thing I'm working on in my spare time is a MLT FCPXML converter. I collaborate with people who use Final Cut Pro or Premiere, so it will be necessary to exchange projects both ways. I'm surprised that none of the open source video editors support this natively :(

I'll have to try this. There's a big gap for the "I just want to make a few cuts to this 10 minute video and fix the audio levels" tool. Until now I've been using avidemux which isn't really ideal.

How cut video and save it's fragment without full rencoding?

You can use ffmpeg for this, using "copy" for audio and video, but setting "-ss " for the start time and "-t " for the length of your cut beginning from the start timestamp given with -ss.
