MP4 workflow. Mostly on Linux.
  • I have a Panasonic v770 Camcorder.

    It ouputs mov/mp4 files.

    With QT Pro on Windows I can Trim and save without encoding. I'm looking for a similar workflow on Linux(Ubuntu/Mint).

    Some of the linux apps such as Openshot do have mov/mp4 output but restricted to 40 Mb/s.

  • Depending on your preferences for GUI or command line, try avidemux or mpv with the excerpt plugin.

  • if you really want to edit, you can try blender VSE, it takes many formats as they are, too!
