+## Features
+
+Unlike LosslessCut it's very snappy but does not have as much cutting features.
+
+It can be used like so:
+
+1. Open the app
+1. Drag in a video
+1. Play back to where you wanna make the cuts
+1. Press the <kbd>A</kbd> and <kbd>B</kbd> start/end time buttons
+1. <kbd>CTRL+S</kbd> opens a file save dialog

+
+## Custom keybindings
+
+If you prefer using the <kbd>I</kbd> and <kbd>O</kbd> keys to set in and out points,
+
+you can create named `settings.json` in the same directory that holds `avidemux.exe`(1)
+{ .annotate }
+
+1. search it up in your start menu, right click it -> open file location

+    "keyboard_shortcuts" : {

+# Video cutters vs NLEs
+
+VEGAS, Premiere, After Effects, Davinci Resolve.. all these NLEs re-encode your videos upon exporting your project.
+
+This is because they need to decode it in order to perform the actual "editing" of the video you've fed it.
+
+In specific edgecases that do not require all the bells and whistles of a video editor, video cutters can be a life saver:
+
+| Ops & cons         | NLE re-encoding                                                        | Video cutters                      |
+|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
+| Render times       | Will always be slower                                                  | Lightning fast                     |
+| What can be edited | Literally everything                                                   | You can only cut from point A to B |
+| Format             | Unless encoding in lossless you'll always lose a little bit of quality | Lossless!                          |
+
+e.g you have videos with very little parts of them actually relevant (e.g archiving highlights from stream VODs)
+
+### :material-format-list-checks: What video cutters are there?
+
+A lot more of them exists, but I'll cover both ends of the spectrums in terms of UI-snappiness to feature ratio:
+
+* [LosslessCut](./losslesscut.md) is an electron-based user interface for cutting videos,
+* [Avidemux](./avidemux.md) is much snappier and acts as a basic front-end to cutting from the command-line with FFmpeg
+
+not documented on [ctt.cx](#):
+
+* [suckless-cut](https://github.com/couleur-tweak-tips/suckless-cut): mpv lua script that replicates LosslessCut, I designed it to export directly to smoothie-rs
+* [vidcutter](https://github.com/ozmartian/vidcutter): python gui which uses mpv?? todo: add a proper description, i (couleur) never used it much

+
+It has the following notable features:
+
+* Upon dragging multiple files you can select a "batch mode" which lets you run through multiple video files at once
+* Smart-cutting (experimental) lets you have frame-accurate cuts by only re-encoding the two outer edge keyframes
+* It supports Send To / dragging multiple files on a shortcut to it
+* You can select a different output codec
+* You can chose to export as an audio-only / video-only file
+* Cuts can be joined in one output video or split into multiple ones

+
+If you mind the long filenames it gives to your export, you can click on the output filename (underlined in blue) and set it to this:
+```
+${FILENAME}-cut${EXT}
+```
+Though note if you make multiple exports you'll have a file conflict, you see fit.
