Then, I changed it to "Editing Accuracy: GOP Accurate," and I saved it as "H.264 MP4." This worked fairly well, but not perfect. But this happened when it was set to "Tools," "Options," "Editing Accuracy: Frame Accurate," and I saved the video as an H.264 MP4.

#4) VideoReDo TV Suite (have to purchase to use): Initially when I tried it out, the finished product was full of errors and glitches. It's a pain in the neck to try to adjust - so I'd prefer not to use this. I'll tell it to cut the video at a certain point, and it'll cut it like 2 seconds ahead of when I tell it to (so I end up getting 2 seconds of another "scene" at the beginning of each clip, which I really want to avoid).

#3) LosslessCut: Great program, and I've used it for other mp4 files and it's worked absolutely flawlessly - however, it's not very accurate with these mp4 files for whatever reason. If anyone knows any way to make this program be more precise, it'd definitely be my top option.

So it takes a long time to try to fix it. The only problem (and pain in the neck) is it doesn't allow you to scrub any more than by 1 second - yikes! So although you can specify the exact frame to the millisecond, it kind of becomes a guessing game. And it literally allows you to cut the file by the millisecond.

#2) Boilsoft: Also very impressive - exact quality of the original. Again, maybe because it has to re-encode a little bit in order to work properly? This results in the new video being 5 total frames shorter than the original one. Other than that, it's pretty decent! (A top option so far).Īdditionally, in doing another test, while most of the video matches up with the original mp4 video in Sony Vegas, the last 30 frames (exactly 30 - I counted) gets slightly out of sync with the original video. Maybe this is because it has to transcode the first few and last few frames of the video? (Not sure how it works?) Very easy to use though. However, it did cut out 2 frames early initially (meaning there should have been 2 more frames at the end of the video). As far as I can tell, it is the exact quality of the original mp4 file. I tested this out and compared it in Sony Vegas side by side to the original video. #1) Smart Cutter Ps/Ts: Fairly impressive. If anyone has any suggestions whatsoever, I would sincerely appreciate it!įor now, here are my results with the programs I've tried so far: I did try multiple suggestions that were given on this message board in other posts, but I still haven't found a program I'm fully happy with. I have read multiple posts on this message board about this topic, but the posts are all fairly dated and I thought I'd re-post the topic here in case anything has changed in the last few years. They are all mp4 files, and they are 16 frames per second. I don't want any of the previous or next "scenes" to appear at the beginning or the end of the current "scene," if that makes sense). I also want to be able to cut/trim the videos at exact, precise locations (i.e.

I don't want to lose any quality or alter the videos in any way I just want to cut/trim them. In order to do this, I'm looking for a program (free or paid, I don't care as long as it works) that will allow me to cut/trim these videos without them being re-encoded. This way I'd be able to organize all the videos chronologically for a much better viewing experience. Ideally, I'd like to cut up these 4 hours of video and organize the smaller videos into separate folders on my hard drive. my Dad, who appears in the videos, will be 3 years old one minute, and then it'll skip ahead to when he's like 17). They did an absolutely fantastic job transferring and restoring the 8mm film, it looks incredible (it's all home movies from the 1950s through the 1970s). Recently, I sent away about 4 hours of old 8mm home video footage to a company called Memorable to get digitized.
