Command line interface (CLI)

LosslessCut has limited support for automation through the CLI. Note that these examples assume that you have set up LosslessCut in your PATH environment. Alternatively you can run it like this:

# First navigate to the folder containing the LosslessCut app
cd /path/to/directory/containing/app
# On Linux:
./LosslessCut arguments
# On Windows:
./LosslessCut.exe arguments
# On MacOS:
./LosslessCut.app/Contents/MacOS/LosslessCut arguments

Open one or more files:

LosslessCut file1.mp4 file2.mkv

Override settings (experimental)

See available settings. Note that this is subject to change in newer versions. ⚠️ If you specify incorrect values it could corrupt your configuration file. You may use JSON or JSON5:

LosslessCut --settings-json '{captureFormat:"jpeg", "keyframeCut":true}'

Multiple instances (experimental)

By default, only a single running instance of LosslessCut is allowed. If you start a new LosslessCut instance from the command line, it will instead pass the list of files onto the already running instance. You can override this behavior by passing this option via the CLI:

LosslessCut --allow-multiple-instances
