Install free and open-source VidCutter software on Debian 11 Bullseye or Debian 10 Buster, using command terminal for video editing.
VidCutter is a free editing program with a basic range of options to manipulate videos. But often enough you just want to crop a video or combine individual excerpts. This is where VidCutter comes into play.
Just like its name developers of the program have been reduced to the essentials in order to offer you exactly what you need for cutting. So you no longer have to learn complicated video editing programs just to build a small clip.
A user just needs to drag and drop the video to edit into the VidCutter window. After that, he can determine the start and endpoint with frame accuracy. You can repeat this as often as you like and thus create many individual clips.
When you are happy with your clips, you can save your project. When saving, the individual clips are combined into a video. Of course, you can also choose just a section and save it individually.
