Video Clipper

Alpha · version 0.0.0 · Windows 10/11, 64-bit

Quick video edits for sharing with a team — trim, cut, mute, resize, compress.

Free to use. By downloading you agree to the licence.

This app is in alpha — in active development, not ready to download yet.

A screen recording or a phone clip, trimmed down and ready to send to your team — that’s the whole job. Video Clipper isn’t for making films.

Other tools go one of two ways. Full editors hand you timelines, tracks and keyframes, and a weekend to learn them. The web ones put your footage behind an upload bar and a monthly fee. This is the small thing in between: open a clip, keep the part that matters, get it out.

Chat apps cap your attachments. Slack, Discord, Teams and email all have a file-size limit, and a raw recording blows past it in seconds.

So the fixes are front and centre — trim the dead air off the ends, cut out the bits nobody needs, mute or drop the audio, resize, and compress to a target size. It’s ffmpeg underneath, so trims are quick and the quality holds up. Everything runs on your machine: no upload, no account.

Joining two clips or laying a voiceover over a recording is in there too, behind an Advanced toggle — stitching isn’t the main idea, so it stays out of the way until you want it.

What it replaces

Replaces online video trimmers and subscription apps like Premiere Rush — upload limits plus a monthly fee. Video Clipper does trim, cut, mute, resize, and compress; it is not a timeline editor, and it does not try to be one.

Installing on Windows

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a blue “Windows protected your PC” box the first time you run it. Click More info, then Run anyway. Buying code-signing certificates is one of the things donations pay for.

The installer’s first screen offers Full install (a Start-menu entry and an Apps & features listing) or Unzip (just extracts the program folder to a location you pick — no registry changes).

Every release on GitHub lists a SHA-256 hash for each file so you can verify your download. Video Clipper checks for a newer version when it starts and offers to fetch it — you always get a prompt, never a silent update.

Feedback

A bug, an idea, or a feature you wish this app had — it goes straight to the person who builds it, and it genuinely shapes what gets built next.
