- Instant Trimming: Leverages FFmpeg power to cut segments without re-rendering (Stream Copy).
- User-Friendly UI: Built with Python (Tkinter) for maximum performance and native feel.
- Automatic Updates: Automatically checks for new versions via GitHub API on startup.
- Full Installer: Easy Windows installation process powered by Inno Setup.
