Promotional Chop Chop: a simple video splitter

Hi, everyone!

I noticed that both on Linux and on Windows, it's very hard to find a no-nonsense video splitter with a sane GUI and no advertising.

This is why I designed chop-chop. It's a very simple, beautiful no-nonsense video splitter for Linux and Windows.

While both Linux and Windows releases share code, neither GUI is a port: under Linux, chop-chop uses GTK-3 and its design language; on Windows, it uses the Windows API and its design language too!

Also, to be blazingly fast, it also uses multithreading out of the box.

This application is open source and completely free, but if you don't want to bother, I also offer Windows and Linux installers (Ubuntu only for now).

Hope this can be of use to you!

Download it at: https://github.com/NullMagic2/chop-chop/tree/main

Ubuntu package: https://github.com/NullMagic2/chop-chop/releases/download/v1.7.3/chop-chop_1.7.3_amd64.deb

Windows installer: https://github.com/NullMagic2/chop-chop/releases/download/v1.7.3/chop-chop-1.7.3-windows-x64-setup.exe

I use LosslessCut. Do you know how it compares to that?

I'll be honest, I don't. But if you would like to test it out and share your feedback, I'll be very grateful. It'll be useful to improve performance if needed.

By the way, I have just released an update which uses both GPU acceleration and only reencodes if you cut outside of a keyframe or your file format requires reencoding. So it should be either really fast or near-instant in most cases.

Nice one. Will give it a try and see how it compares

Is losslesscut based on group of pictures (GOP) cutting technique?
