Video spotting

Dear BMD,

I am looking for a small software video player/trimmer and saver for doing video spotting work.
I have looked around on the web but could not find anything that came close.
I don't want to open up Resolve, it's an overkill for this job.
Just simply clicking on a video file, a player pops up in which you can set in and out points by pressing i and o, and then saving it, next in and out point, saving it, and so forth.

Could you produce or otherwise recommend one to me?

Thanxx!

As a professional tool, I can fully recommend Kyno. But that does much mare than you are asking for…

i'm not sure, if this fits your needs: for the mpv video play there is lua-control script available, which seems do achive similar goals as in your description: https://github.com/lvml/mpv-plugin-excerpt

but it's very simple to modify the actual behaviour of the little control scripts and there are allready tons of them available: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/User-Scripts

Thank you all very much for your great advice and tips!

I love the look and feel of Kyno, but do not yet have the funds for that (even though there's a free trial version), and I love the simplicty of MKVplayer, but I'll go with VirtualDub2.

Again, thank you all for your help!

Best regards from Victor.

Although the website says:

"Currently we have no support for raw video formats like RED Raw, Arri Raw, or Adobe DNG as produced bei Blackmagic Design cameras."

Yikes...

Hello Victor,
Maybe you can try Joyoshare Media Cutter, a small easy-to-use yet powerful video player and trimmer. You can use it to cut, trim, split, and merge videos without losing any original quality. Just give it a try.

Hope it helps.
