Lossless trimming copies supported streams. Cut points follow the source’s keyframes; review the final timing after export.

01 / ORIGINAL STREAMS

Keep what you recorded.

Copy supported video and audio streams without a fresh encode. Create a shorter clip while retaining the original media quality.

02 / REUSABLE SETTINGS

Set up your next export.

Save your container, output mode and export settings as a named recipe. Apply the same setup to the next compatible job.

03 / A CLEAR RECORD

Know what you exported.

Each export creates a local report of the requested cut, effective settings and outcome. Keep the details alongside the files you create.

From a good moment to a useful clip

One clean clip.
A workflow you can repeat.

When you find settings that work for your footage, give them a name. Your saved recipe stays on your computer, ready for the next compatible recording.

Before your first cut

A few useful details.

What does lossless trimming mean?

Supported compressed streams are copied into the output instead of being encoded again. Start points may align to an earlier keyframe. Frame-exact starts are not guaranteed with stream copy, so review the exported clip when precise timing matters.

Which formats can I use?

Common containers include MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM. Preview, audio and export compatibility depend on the codecs, selected streams and output container. Not every format combination is supported.

Where is my video processed?

Selected media is processed locally on your computer. Settings, project information and export reports are stored locally. Read the privacy policy for details.

Can it replace a full video editor?

CutQuay focuses on trimming and stream-copy workflows. Use a full editing application when you need compositing, transitions or a detailed effects workflow.

Which Windows versions are supported?

The x64 app requires Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041) or later, including Windows 11. Visit support for help with media and export compatibility.
