|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Export each video/audio track to individual files.
|
||

## Advanced multi-step workflows 🔢
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use LosslessCut in multiple passes in order to achieve separate trimming of individual tracks:
|
||
|
|
1. Open a file an export all tracks as individual files.
|
||
|
|
2. Open the exported track files independently and cut them as desired.
|
||
|
|
3. Add the track back to the video and combine them to one output video.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Drag-drop source files (from the same camera/source) into losslesscut to open them in the batch list.
|
||
|
|
2. Sort them as needed.
|
||
|
|
3. Open the first file and edit it as needed.
|
||
|
|
4. Open the export options dialog.
|
||
|
|
5. Open "Output file names", edit the template and set it to e.g.:
|
||
|
|
- `my-movie-all-segments-${String(EXPORT_COUNT).padStart(3, '0')}-${String(SEG_NUM_INT).padStart(3, '0')}${EXT}`
|
||
|
|
- This will make sure that output file names will be created in the order of export and order of segment, e.g.: `my-movie-all-segments-001-001.mp4`
|
||
|
|
6. Export.
|
||
|
|
7. Now open each of the rest of the files in the batch list in the order that you want them, edit and export.
|
||
|
|
8. Once done exporting all, close the batch list.
|
||
|
|
9. You will have a folder with all the ordered segments, now drag drop them into LosslessCut and sort by name in the batch list.
|
||
|
|
10. Merge
