LosslessCut vs SolveigMM Video Splitter



Lossless video editing allows you to make changes to your video files without sacrificing any of the original quality. Unlike standard editing, which re-encodes the video and can introduce compression artifacts, lossless editing preserves every pixel. This is crucial for maintaining pristine video quality, especially when working with high-resolution footage or archiving valuable content. Lossless editing also has the second advantage – the fast editing: the speed of editing in lossless tools is much more efficient than in ordinary editing apps. For anyone working with video, especially those who need to quickly trim or cut footage without sacrificing quality, lossless editing tools are indispensable. If you’re wondering how to cut videos without losing quality or how to merge videos without re-encoding, the key is to use a video editor that supports lossless cutting and merging.

Batch Files for Ffmpeg to correct chroma shift etc.



How to use ffmpeg to Encode Video with Chroma Shift Corrected. If you have digitised video from older analogue sources like VHS or Hi-8 you will probably need to correct the inevitable chroma shift. Chroma drops vertically with any delay line processing as always used with PAL and often with NTSC. This gives a messy looking image with colour drooping and bleeding below the correct areas. See Chroma can also move sideways if there are processing errors. This again makes the colour bleed more on one side which makes it look much more blurred. See The GTH Electronics ACE solved that in hardware before video capture but all these effects can now be cured in software using Ffmpeg. To make this easy I have created some batch files which combine both vertical and horizontal chroma shift with encoding to MPEG-2 or MP4 at high quality, along with the audio. All values can be tweaked in the batch files easily. To make it simpler to find the best settings I have also made a batch file to play the video using Ffplay with options to tweak the shift parameters. These are all available with lots of other useful information here: Any questions please just ask me using the email address on this page.

How does a video codec work?



What? It's a piece of software / hardware that compresses or decompresses digital video. Why? Market and society demands higher quality videos with limited bandwidth or storage. Remember when we calculated the needed bandwidth for 30 frames per second, 24 bits per pixel, resolution of a 480x240 video? It was 82.944 Mbps with no compression applied. It's the only way to deliver HD/FullHD/4K in TVs and the Internet. How? We'll take a brief look at the major techniques here.

OpenShot Video Editor Masks & Transitions Video Tutorial



Masks are used in video editing to hide (or erase) parts of a video. Similar to a green-screen/chroma key effect, but far more customizable. Effective use of masks require lots of planning, and are usually easiest with a stationary camera position, so you do not have to create a different mask for each frame. The following video tutorial walks through the process of creating a custom mask in OpenShot.
