Exact cuts, not keyframe jumps
Quick cutters jump to the nearest keyframe, so clips often start a second early or late. This trimmer re-encodes the selected part, so it starts and ends exactly where you set it, to a tenth of a second, and the result is an MP4 with H.264 and AAC that plays on every device.
