Easily cut and re-order video clips.

VidCutter is free software which gives you the ability to trim your videos quickly and without much effort.

As an open source and free tool with which you can cut and merge videos, it doesn't contain much in terms of other filters or tools except for the blackbar detection utility.

With that said, VidCutter provides the bare essentials to offer you exactly only what you need for cutting. This means you don't have to delve into complicated video editing programs just to build a small clip. Unlike other similar more complex programs, here you'll find a very intuitive toolbar that will help you to cut and join fragments with simplicity.

Just drag and drop the chosen video file into the main application interface and you can get started cutting and merging video clips. Once you are satisfied with your clips, you can save your project. When you save, the individual clips are connected to form a video.

Alternatively, you can open video files from within the interface without having to fiddle around with Windows Explorer.

Highly compatible with a wide array of video formats

VidCutter has full compatibility with a multitude of input and output formats. All this will help to export each project with the maximum compatibility for different devices, players and media servers.

In closing

VidCutter is the perfect tool if you only want to trim and merge videos briefly. In just a few steps, you'll go from raw footage to a shortened clip in no time.
