Yes, I've noticed this with kdenlive and from what I recall from years ago, |
| 26 |
avidemux too. I can't recall if there was some GUI option to change this - I |
| 27 |
never found it. |

I use mpv to identify the exact timestamp where I want to make a cut and then |
| 30 |
tell ffmpeg to do so. Whether I transcode any/all streams, or remux to a |
| 31 |
different container at the same time, ffmpeg just works, but the process takes |
| 32 |
more than point 'n click. I'll give openshot a ... shot one day to see if it |
| 33 |
is more user friendly. |
