How to Install VidCutter on Ubuntu 24.04 | 22.04 | 20.04 LTS

Install free and open-source VidCutter software for video editing using the command terminal on Ubuntu 24.04 Noble, 22.04 Jammy, or Ubuntu 20.4 Focal LTS.

VidCutter is a free editing program with a basic range of options for manipulating videos. But often, you just want to crop a video or combine individual excerpts. This is where VidCutter comes into play.

Like its name, the program’s developers have reduced it to the essentials to offer you exactly what you need for cutting. So you no longer have to learn complicated video editing programs to build a small clip.

A user must drag and drop the video to edit it in the VidCutter window. After that, he can determine the start and end points 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 a section and save it individually.
