Modern video tools provide an enormous selection, much of which is free.

But I'll always miss VirtualDub.



> But I'll always miss VirtualDub.

Miss? I still used it just last week! Still haven't found anything that is as fast and easy to take a directory of frames in .png and concatenating them together into a proper video. I use it post 3D renders all the time :)


ffmpeg?


Not sure you missed it, I did say "easy" :) Last time I compared them, VirtualDub was still the fastest.


But I don't want more tools. I want to be able to view a video on YouTube, shift-scrub to select a short clip, hit copy, then go over to X, write some commentary, and hit paste. I don't want to have to go through yt-dlp, a dedicated video editor, and a file picker.

This functionality was taken for granted when video on personal computers were first invented.
