What I've found to be trickier is dividing a video into multiple clips, where one clip can start at the end of another, but not necessarily.

#23I don't find trimming videos with ffmpeg particularly difficult, is just-ss xx -to xx -c copy basically. Sure, you need to get those time stamps using a media player, but you probably already have one so that isn't really an issue.

I don't find Sharing files with people very difficult, just login to your FTP and give an account to another user. - Person commenting on OneDrive
I just think there are other closely related use cases where a separate program can add more value, especially in the terminal. I wouldn't suggest most people should use ffmpeg instead of a gui, those are too dissimilar. Another example is cutting out a part of a video, with ffmpeg you need to make two temporary videos and then concatenate them, that process would greatly benefit from a better ux.

#26I've been using ffmpeg with claude as video editor for long time.

#27Don'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!
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.).

I used a plugin in mpv to do it but I can't find it anymore. You just pressed a key to mark the start and end. And with . and , you could do it at keyframe resolution not just seconds.
