From Six Colors comes a reminder that you can do a ton of video editing with the free and open source app, LosslessCut.

It’s basically a graphical interface that saves you from diving into Terminal to use FFmpeg. That means you get fast and lossless editing for video, audio, subtitle and other media files.

• Cut out commercials from a recorded TV show (and re-format from TS to MP4).
• Remove audio tracks from a file.
• Extract music track from a video and cut it to your needs.
• Add music to a video (or replace existing audio track).
• Combine audio and video tracks from separate recordings.

While the app is indeed free, if you’re getting a lot out of it, consider downloading from the Mac App Store to support the developer.

It’s been awhile since I’ve done any video editing, but I seemed to manage OK with iMovie.
