Comments.Text: Welcome! Once you add titles and transitions, you will need to re-encode. There is no advantage to using a tool that can do lossless editing in that case.

Comments.Text: Thanks for comment... But if all clips are of the same format, isn't it possible to concatenate/add segments with text, titles... Anyway, being lossless is not so important, if the tool is automated... I'm willing to wait... Will correct the title...

Comments.Text: It doesn't matter what format the clips are. If you want to add titles and transitions that modify the source clips, you have to re-encode. If you only want cuts and you don't put titles over your source clips, then you can probably concatenate.

Comments.Text: You can use any video editing software that you are comfortable with. If you need help narrowing the choices down, I'd suggest creating a new question with as many specific requirements as you can identify: free vs. paid, level of automation needed, operating system are all a good start.

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2022-06-16)
  
  I have a series of video clips that students created for their projects with embedded systems.
  
  I'm seeking for a tool that would allow me to quickly select highlights, add transitions, add title and intro section, end text section, captions on highlights etc...).
  
  As far as I have researched, [LosslessCut](https://mifi.no/losslesscut/) seems fine to select highlights. Is there any more complete tool or can I then use something else to add captions, music, intro and end sections with custom text for each clip (like project name, description, some photo of schematic, etc...) ?
  
  Thanks in advance for advice, pointers to tools and other sources to learn from,
  regards.
