We record a lot of family videos, especially when we travel or when the children have some event, etc. Especially the travel videos are then everything my wife records on her iPhone, everything I record on my Samsung phone and the bulk of the videos are what I record with my Sony A7C. I then get everything into one directory but then all the files have different naming conventions, so it’s a bit difficult to organize into a timeline. I think all of the files have their date/time baked in into the files so it theoretically should be at least possible to rename them to be able to sort them.

But then the real work starts, going through every single clip and trimming it and putting it in order into the timeline. So I wonder if there is some tool which can help with that.

    Lossless cut is an amazingly quick and light tool to just cut front and back off videos. It’s my goto for any light trimming.

      I haven’t heard of this. Is it a CLI or GUI tool? Sounds really useful.

        GUI. It may have cli capabilities but never used it that way.

        There’s a flatpak, but it’s a bit outdated at the moment.

        also it works extremely fast because it doesnt re-encode. downside is slight imprecision on cutpoints.
