Simple Video Cut

Simple Video Cut is a professional, high-performance desktop application built with Electron and React designed for ultra-fast video segment extraction. It leverages the power of native FFmpeg for lossless cutting (Direct Stream Copy) and high-speed hardware-accelerated encoding, while providing a seamless browser-based WASM fallback for maximum portability.

This entire project was built with Google Antigravity using a combination of Gemini 3/3.1 Pro, This is a vibe project and will continue to be developed this way.

🚀 Key Features

• Native FFmpeg Engine: Blazing fast video processing using your system's FFmpeg binary.
• Direct Stream Copy: Lossless cutting without re-encoding (instant exports).
• Region Cropping: Visual cropping tool to extract specific areas of your video.
• Hardware Acceleration: Support for modern hardware encoders like hevc_nvenc, h264_amf, and more.
• WASM Fallback: Fully functional browser-based fallback if native tools are unavailable.
• Project Persistence: Save and load your cut segments as JSON projects (.llc).
• Precision Timeline: Snapping and frame-accurate seeking for perfect cuts.
• Custom Arguments: Power-user field for manual FFmpeg command overrides.
