In Kdenlive I can only export a selected part of the video or the entire project.

  # shotcut
  
  I would suggest [shotcut](https://shotcut.org/). It's really fast and allows you to select where to cut at the right place (to the frame). It's also visual making it really easy.
  
  ## Basic Setup
  
  * Start shotcut
  * Give your project a name
  * Drag & Drop an MP4 in the screen video area
  * Click on the video now playing, move it to the timeline
  
  ## Cut + Export
  
  * Click on the timeline time (top of the timeline) to select a location.
  * Click on the `][` icon to do a cut.
  * Right click on the left side and do "Remove".
  * Click on the right side and do a "Remove" as well.
  * Then Export (File → Export Video ... | Ctrl-E).
  
  ## Next Cut
  
  Once the export is done:
  
  * Hit Ctrl-Z to restore the clip on the right side.
  * Then cut/remove again...
  * Repeat until done.
