This disclosure is for Video Trimmer notes. File links go to GitHub Releases. Publisher details sit on about. Analytics none and ads off also sit on privacy. Contact publishes no inbox: contact.

Ads stay off

No display network script ships. Ad IDs stay empty. Guides under guides are not for sale. Compare notes are not a paid rank. Filename patterns are not a sponsored download. If a network is approved later, this disclosure will name it before a script ships, and privacy will be updated in the same change. Until that happens, treat ads as off.

Because ads are off, contact has no advertising enquiry channel. Skip a media kit expecting a slot.

No fake download button

A fake download button is an ad or a wrapper dressed as the installer. These notes ship none. Windows takes LosslessCut-win-x64.7z from GitHub, extracted with 7-Zip. macOS takes the arm64 or x64 dmg. Linux takes the AppImage or tar.bz2. Softonic, CNET, and unofficial sites that wrap the name are the pattern to walk past. Fetch notes: download safely. Asset chooser: releases. Repo: GitHub.

Walkthroughs: Windows extract, macOS dmg, Linux AppImage. Home: video trimmer home.

Store listings are not ads

Mac App Store and Microsoft Store listings exist as a paid convenience path the author describes. Store builds lag GitHub. GitHub downloads stay free. These notes do not invent a dollar amount. Naming a listing id is a fact from the README badge, not a paid unit. Channel comparison: GitHub files versus store apps.

Snap id losslesscut is the same kind of fact: an author-published Linux store path, supporting only. It is not a sponsored command and not the Linux file of record.

Donations belong to the author

README lists PayPal (paypal.me/mifino/usd) and a thanks page at mifi.no/thanks. Those links are the author's. They are not a commission and not an ad unit. The README also points at FFmpeg donations. Licence is GNU GPL-2.0. Official homepage remains losslesscut.app.

How those facts are checked: editorial policy. OS map: this computer.

Compare pages stay unpaid

HandBrake is a re-encode transcoder. Shotcut is a cross-platform NLE. CapCut is a closed consumer editor. FFmpeg CLI is the engine LosslessCut wraps. Avidemux is a closer cousin. No page is titled best. No rank is for sale. See versus HandBrake, versus Shotcut, and move off re-encoders.

Keep indexed URLs for crop, cut, trim, and mp4 stay unpaid: cropper, cutter, trim video, mp4 trimmer.

What a sponsor cannot buy

A sponsor cannot buy a winget id that does not exist. A sponsor cannot buy a brew command these notes refuse to print. A sponsor cannot make Snap the Linux file of record. A sponsor cannot hide APPX or PKG warnings. A sponsor cannot pin a stale tag in HTML. Changing a filename for money would also be a factual error. Report drift with the fallback paragraph on contact. Product bugs still go to GitHub issues on mifi/lossless-cut.

Windows has no package-manager line to sell. macOS has no Homebrew line. Linux has the GitHub AppImage first, with Snap supporting only.

If ads are enabled later

If a display network is approved later, this disclosure will be updated before the script ships. Ceiling rules: display ads only, labeled, no native advertorial that looks like a guide, no affiliate cut on GitHub or the stores, no paid compare, no vendor payment for a command or a rank. Units stay out of install steps and off the GitHub file link. A labeled unit may sit after the install notes, never as a second exe. Until the disclosure names a network, treat ads as off. Ad IDs stay empty until that change.

Safety notes: is it safe. Switch notes: switch from re-encode editors.
