Simple Video Cutter: How to install it
This program is portable, therefore, we will only have to download the file and run it, no previous installation is necessary. But when we open it, it will ask us to have FFmpeg installed in our system.
In order to use this program, we download both options in the following links.
Once we have them, the message will appear when we open it, we will click on “OK” and it will ask us to open the FFmpeg file, which we will have to have downloaded and located.
We will skip the next configuration window in which we will click on the 3 points , and we will look for the file that we have downloaded before called “ffmpeg – ***” and in the bin folder we will select and open “ffmpeg”
A route will remain as shown in the following example.
After this step we will have the video editor available. We will show the options you have available to edit video .
We will have two options with which we will select the beginning and end of the part to be edited. We can see how the selected part has a more grayish color.
Then we have the option “Create selection” to delete the selected section. We can check which section is the one we have selected and visualize it with “Go to start” to return to the beginning of the section and with “Enter” to visualize it, or go to the end with “Go to end”
We can Zoom in the editor’s timeline, or on the contrary, we can contract that line to trim more seconds, minutes or hours of video.
With “Current position” we can return to a fixed point in the timeline, for faster editing and not lose that point with the content we want to cut.
As for the menu above we have options to open the files. We can open several files and move between them with the “Previous file” and “Next File” buttons. Another option available is to mute the video or clipped video parts, with a simple button, “Mute”
