Bandicut is a video cutter, joiner, and splitter that trims unwanted sections and merges clips without re-encoding, so the original picture and sound quality survive intact. It also extracts audio to MP3 and splits long recordings into separate files.
Bandicut is a lightweight video cutter, joiner, and splitter built for one job: removing unwanted footage and stitching clips together as fast as possible. You drop a file onto the window, mark the parts to keep or delete with start and end points, and press a button. In High-Speed mode nothing is re-encoded, so the edit finishes in seconds and the exported clip keeps the exact quality of the source. The same window handles joining several videos into one, splitting a long recording into equal files, and pulling the audio out as MP3, which makes it a practical first stop before a full editor.
Two modes decide how a cut is written. High-Speed mode copies the original stream and aligns cuts to keyframes, which is why it finishes almost instantly and never touches image quality. Encoding mode re-encodes the segments, so cuts land exactly on the frame you chose, formats can be converted, and hardware encoders from NVIDIA, Intel, or AMD keep the render quick. Files can be joined in a different order, segments saved individually or merged into one clip, and rotation or mirroring applied during export. If you enjoy comparing utility software on price and clarity, our notes on LastPass apply the same lens to a very different category.
The advantage of Bandicut is speed without a quality tax. Trimming a commercial break or a failed take out of a two-hour recording normally means a re-render that takes as long as the video itself; here the file is rewritten in seconds because the video data is copied rather than rebuilt. That matters for action camera footage, screen recordings, gameplay captures, and large 4K files, where the original quality is worth protecting and a full editor is unnecessary. Encoding mode covers the rest, giving frame-accurate cuts, format changes, and rotation when a clip needs more than a trim. Audio tools sit alongside the video ones, so a soundtrack can be pulled out as MP3 or stripped entirely from a clip. Because the interface is a timeline with two markers and a few buttons, the learning curve is measured in minutes rather than evenings, which is exactly what a quick utility should offer.
Key capabilities and highlights.
High-Speed mode copies the original video and audio streams instead of rebuilding them, so trimming a clip takes seconds and the exported file matches the source pixel for pixel. Cuts snap to keyframes, which is the trade-off that makes the speed possible.
Encoding mode re-encodes the selected segments so every cut lands on the exact frame rather than the nearest keyframe. The same mode converts between containers, applies rotation or mirroring, and uses NVIDIA, Intel, or AMD hardware encoders to keep the render time short.
The Join mode accepts several files at once, lets you reorder them in the list, and writes them out as a single video. Segments marked in Cut mode can also be merged into one file or saved separately, so an edit does not require a second pass.
A single button divides a video into equal parts, by number of files or by size, which is handy when a long capture has to fit a size limit or be uploaded in sections. Each piece is written automatically with sequential names.
Bandicut can export the soundtrack of any supported video as a separate MP3 file, which is convenient for podcasts and music clips. It can equally strip the audio track entirely, leaving a silent video, or detach sound and picture so each is handled separately.
Rotation and mirroring are applied during the cut itself, so a clip recorded sideways can be corrected without a separate editing step. The options work in cut, split, and join modes, and they can be combined with a format change when the footage needs both.
Bandicut reads the formats people actually record in, including AVI, MP4, MOV, M4V, MKV, MPEG, VOB, FLV, WMV, and TS, so downloaded videos, camera footage, and screen captures all open without a converter first. When a file cannot be copied losslessly, the program switches to Encoding mode so the job still finishes.
Extra files can be added to the same session with a single click, letting you apply one cut pattern to several recordings and export them together. That saves time on series of gameplay clips, lectures, or screen recordings that all need the same opening and closing removed.

Common questions about Bandicut.
Bandicut trims unwanted sections out of existing video files, merges several clips into one, splits long recordings into smaller pieces, and extracts or removes audio. It is aimed at quick, everyday edits rather than colour grading, transitions, or multi-track timelines.
Not in High-Speed mode. That mode copies the original video and audio streams to a new file without re-encoding, so the exported clip keeps the exact quality of the source. Encoding mode does rebuild the frames, which is necessary for frame-accurate cuts and format changes, so the result depends on the settings you choose.
Bandicut's High-Speed mode is lossless and nearly instant because it copies the stream, but cuts can only land on keyframes. Encoding mode rebuilds the selected segments, so a cut can be placed on any frame and the file can be converted, rotated, or flipped; hardware encoders keep that process fast.
Yes, when Encoding mode is used, because the files have to be rebuilt into one common format. Videos that share the same codec and resolution can usually be joined in High-Speed mode without any re-encoding, which keeps the merge instant and lossless.
Yes. Bandicut includes an option to save the audio track as a separate MP3 file, and a matching option to remove the audio track entirely. Both sit in the normal cutting workflow, so a video and its soundtrack can be separated, or the video silenced, without installing extra software.
Because High-Speed mode copies data rather than rebuilding it, trimming a long or high-resolution recording is quick and the picture is not softened by the edit. The work is limited mainly by disk speed, so a clip from a two-hour capture can be produced in seconds.
