  You might want to note that MPV plugins can actually do cuts and crops for you (+ whatever ffmpeg filters you want), something that would generally require the hassle of opening editing software. And those cuts can be done in h264 lossless (for additional processing later at no additional quality loss from this step).

  https://github.com/occivink/mpv-scripts

  There is also a way to losslessly cut preserving the original encoding but you give up the precision of the cuts due to keyframes. The MPV script can do that too: script-opts/encode_slice.conf

  You can also create a useful script for stabilizing a shaky video (with h264 lossless if desired) and then optionally crop and cut it with the MPV plugins above. You can get good ffmpeg args (for vidstabdetect & vidstabtransform) for doing that from the reddit stabbot source: https://gitlab.com/juergens/stabbot/blob/master/src/stabVid....

  Mpv+scripts make the key frame cutting via ffmpeg light and simple. Ffmpeg still requires to do work on joining clips but at least can work away in the background, can be run overnight without X11 or video editor running for max resources.

  With copyTime.lua and seek-to.lua you can copy current time with ctrl+c then paste it in the next video with ctrl+v to seek to the same position.
