At first we thought that Video Cutter got its name from the fact that it is a video cutting software, and that you join videos together with its brother, Free Video Joiner. In the end, it turned out to be one and the same tool with a split personality: Gihosoft Free Video Editor.

Bizarre, on the website of the Chinese Gihosoft you will find separate pages for Free Video Cutter and Free Video Joiner. One to cut, the other to join. The truth is that you get the same program either way: Free Video Editor.
Incorrect
Actually, even the name Free Video Editor isn’t quite right either, because you can’t do other operations like extract sound, place transitions or add subtitles. It is a free video trimmer and joiner with no loss of quality, if you don’t convert from one format to another.
To cut
A major asset is the clear operation of the program. To crop a file, set the start and end times via two sliders or via the time stamps, and click cut to make the cut. After that, a pop-up window will appear in which you click OK or on Open a folder can click. The truncated file ends up in the location you select beforehand.
You can combine films in the same working environment. You click the button Add Files and from there you select the files you want to merge. The button is now cut changed in Join. We noticed that the Windowsversion does not support drag and drop. Cutting and compiling new audio files is done in the same way.
Conclusion
A simple, easy-to-use video editor always comes in handy, especially if it’s free. Gihosoft Free Video Editor is one such product where you can understand how it works at a glance.
