LosslessCut
The swiss army knife of lossless video/audio editing
LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera). Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file). -

Spatial Media
Specifications and tools for 360º video and spatial audio
spatial-media provides tools for working with spherical video and spatial audio metadata so players and platforms can correctly render immersive media. The utilities inject, inspect, and extract metadata in common container formats (MP4/WebM) to signal 360° projection type, stereoscopy mode, and spatial audio layout. Creators use it to prepare 360/VR180 assets for upload so services know whether a video is monoscopic, top-bottom stereo, or side-by-side, and whether ambisonic audio is present. By separating metadata handling from encoding, the tools slot into existing editing/export workflows without requiring specialized NLE support. They help ensure assets play back with the right projection, field of view, and head-tracked audio in compliant players. For archive and validation use cases, the scripts can also read existing flags to diagnose why a video isn’t being recognized as immersive. -
