    Do you know if it does not desynchronize the audio and video when editing something recorded from DTT?

    Is it better to use this application instead of using ffmpeg? I prefer the latter, which for what I want to do (a music video) is enough for me.

    Greetings.

    A really good program, and easy to use. It doesn't have a lot of features, but that's really what makes it exceptional. For me, since I have known him he has become essential. I recently left an article about him on my blog ( http://www.oblogdeleo.es/corta-e-pega-videos-de-forma-sinxela-con-vidcutter/ ).

    Greetings to all users and Internet users, I hereby strongly request that you kindly help me solve certain problems with Vidcutter on the Linux Fedora 28 LXDE x86 x64 Operating System. The problem is that when playing the video file it is not displayed, only the audio is heard and you can see the frames of the video to edit, but it is not displayed, only a dark background with audio remains.

    I thank you in advance for your kind attention, help and prompt responses.
