LosslessCut: lossless video/audio editing
I just discovered this post, and I&#x27;m really happy to see a lot of satisfied long time users as well as excited new users who recently discovered this.<p>I think the most common criticism is that the app is large and uses a lot of memory (compared to Notepad?:P) due to it being Electron based. Somewhat unpopular opinion, but here goes: Developing an app using Electron gives such tremendous benefits that it far outweighs any downsides. It lets you easily build a cross-OS app on a super optimised, stable and secure platform that&#x27;s being battle tested by billions of people around the world every day (Chromium). It gives you all the features of the web, and it &quot;just works&quot; on almost any popular OS. The web has all the big tech pushing new features and improvements all the time and it maintains really good backwards compatibility. I don&#x27;t think I ever had the LosslessCut app actually crash on me. CI, automatic building and releasing to all different kinds of channels is a breeze due to tools like `electron-builder`.<p>I think if you compare it to most other lossy video editors, you&#x27;ll find that the CPU usage is much lower (especially per minute of produced video!), and the memory footprint is probably lower than many other popular video editors. Storage is cheap, and what is 500mb when working with 4K video anyways, so optimising for size is mostly a waste of time and doesn&#x27;t really benefit 99% of users. Counter arguments are welcome :)<p>-Mikael
