How does it compare to https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut?

It's not an electron app, for one

That's nice but in practice it doesn't mean anything.

Here's a comparison of both apps with the same video file open and the same clip cut:

Startup time (time between double click and window appears and ready):

- Losslesscut: 2 seconds

- VidCutter: 12 seconds

Time to load the video file:

- Losslesscut: 1 second (to be fair it doesn't show thumbnails)

- VidCutter: 3 seconds

Memory usage:

- Losslesscut: 368MB

- VidCutter: 455MB

Idle CPU usage:

- Losslesscut: 0%

- VidCutter: 0%

Network requests:

- Losslesscut: 7

- VidCutter: 0

Installed size:

- Losslesscut: 455MB

- VidCutter: 178MB

Source, kinda (the memory shown is the sum of all subprocesses. taken when idle so no ffmpeg subprocess included.):

It uses PyQt. I'm not sure I'd put much money on it being faster than an Electron app. The only other PyQt app I have used is Cura and that is ridiculously slow. Takes like a minute to start up and you can watch it loading the controls when there are a lot of them.

I'd take Electron over that tbh.

To be honest, I don't know, I've never heard of lossless-cut before. I've always just used VidCutter.
