Hi everyone,

as I don’t need to do extensive video manipulation but simple cutting/compression of videos as well as extraction from every “nth” video frame to save as picture. I’ve been using avidemux and VirtualDub in the past for this purpose. However, both avidemux and VirtualDub are last updated in 2012/2023 and thus not up-to-date anymore. Thus, I am now looking for a linux-ready, FOSS, and up-to-date solution to do the same. Shotcut, Kdenlive and OpenShot are much too extensive in features for the simple things that I am looking for it to do. Does anyone here have good recommenations?

Thanks for your help! Temperche

    I use MKVtoolnix for reboxing files (naturally it outputs MKV). I would assume ffmpeg can do the slicing that you want but it’s just a library with a CLI. So if you search for ffmpeg GUIs you can probably find one to your liking.
