The program worked great and I was able to use the FFMPEG libraries from ShareX to cut down an over-long video. Great suggestion.

Program synopsis: tool for efficient browsing and cutting video
Goal
Let's imagine you have hours of video footage, dozens of files (videos from your vacations, material copied from your action camera or a drone etc.). Usually only a small portion of this material is worth keeping. So you would like to check the whole material and extract the most interesting/best parts as separate videos. And this is where the simple-video-cutter tool comes in. It helps you to quickly browse the videos, preview them and extract interesting parts into separate video files.

The main goal is to make this process as efficient as possible. You don't have to select the next file from disk manually, just press "next" and next file (ordered by date) is loaded automatically. Location and filenames of created video cuts are assigned automatically basing on patterns specified in the configuration. The extraction process is done in background (by ffmpeg), so you can work with next material whilst the previous tasks are being processed.

Download: https://github.com/bartekmotyl/simple-v ... 0.12.0.zip

Requires FFMPEG to be downloaded and unzipped to the application folder (select it when prompted)

Status: Unclear. Writes to user.config LocalAppData

Still in beta but already a great program. May have portability changing with this fix back in June:
Fixed #39 - possibility to store configuration file in a separate, writable directory

I'm very surprised that my need for this program hasn't appeared yet -- I was expecting to find a dozen or more uses in the last few months alone but it just hasn't happened. Definitely still in my toolbox for when that need does surface.

You can now use --configCurrentFolder to write settings to the same folder as the EXE.
