+VibEdit - simple video cutter
+=============================
+
+Cut clips out of one or more videos and join them together (or save each
+clip as its own file). Uses ffmpeg, which is included in this folder.
+
+Start
+-----
+Double-click vibedit.exe. The editor opens in its own window (Microsoft
+Edge app mode). A small console window also opens - it shows the editor's
+address and closes the program when you close it. Closing the editor
+window also quits VibEdit after a few seconds.
+
+If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click "More info" and then
+"Run anyway" (the program is not code-signed).
+
+How to cut
+----------
+1. Click "Add videos" and pick one or more source files.
+2. Move the playhead (click the timeline, arrow keys = one frame,
+   Shift+arrows = one second, Up/Down = keyframes).
+3. Press I to set the In point and O to set the Out point, then Enter to
+   add the clip. Repeat for every part you want - from any source video.
+   Or click "+ Whole" on a source and press S to split it at the playhead,
+   then delete the pieces you don't want.
+4. Drag the clips into order, click Export and choose:
+   - Lossless: copies the original video/audio. No quality loss and very
+     fast, but cuts can only start on keyframes (shown as ticks under the
+     timeline), so a clip may start a little early.
+   - Re-encode: frame-exact cuts; choose codec (H.264, H.265, AV1, VP9 and
+     NVIDIA/Intel/AMD GPU encoders when available), quality, resolution,
+     frame rate and audio.
+   - Join everything into one file, or save each clip separately.
+
+Press the ? button in the editor for all keyboard shortcuts. Your project is
+saved automatically and restored the next time you start VibEdit.
+
+Options (run from a command prompt)

+  vibedit.exe -default-browser   open in the default browser instead
+  vibedit.exe -no-browser        just print the address
