FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about lossless cutting, quality, and how the app handles your files.

Why aren't my exported segments perfectly frame-accurate?

Lossless export copies compressed video without re-encoding.

In formats like MP4, only some frames are full keyframes, so cuts must land on valid points in the file.

Picture quality stays the same as the source, but start and end times may snap to the nearest valid spot, not every single frame.

Getting exact frames usually means re-encoding, which this app avoids on purpose.

Is the Mac download signed and notarized?

Yes. The DMG is signed by NuFrnd AI Limited with an Apple Developer ID certificate.

The app and DMG are notarized by Apple before release, then distributed directly from losslessvideocutter.com.

What does “lossless” mean in this app?

Video and audio are exported with stream copying where possible, so picture and sound are not recompressed.

You keep the same quality and avoid generation loss.

The tradeoff is the keyframe alignment limits described above.

Do my videos get uploaded to the cloud?

No. Editing, previews, and exports run on your Mac.

Face recognition and object detection use on-device AI models, so those scans stay offline too.

Your source files stay local unless you choose to share them yourself.

Which formats does Lossless Video Cutter support?

The app targets common formats you can open on a Mac, especially MP4 and MOV.

Whether a specific file works depends on what your system can play; unusual formats or copy-protected movies may not open or export losslessly.

Do I need FFmpeg installed?

No. Playback and export use the media support built into macOS.

You don't need to install or maintain FFmpeg separately.

Why doesn't the app use FFmpeg?

Lossless Video Cutter uses the same video engine your Mac already uses for QuickTime and Finder previews. That gives you a few things you notice right away:

Videos open instantly. There is no loading bar or progress spinner before you can start editing, even on long files. Timeline thumbnails fill in quietly in the background while you work.

Nothing to install or set up. You don't need Homebrew, the Terminal, or a separate FFmpeg download. Just open the app and drop a video in.

The preview matches the export. Where you set your cut in the timeline is where the cut actually lands, because preview and export use the same playback engine.

How do the free app, trial, and Pro features work?

You can download and use the core editor for free.
