VideoReDo going out of business?

I've found that the free version of Davinci Resolve works very well for cuts, edits, dissolves, etc. It's not as user friendly as VideoRedo, but Divinci Resolve is also a pro version and has a great many features.

Curious if DaVinci Resolve can do frame accurate cuts on VFR H.265 1080p without having to transcode the whole file. Examples would be iPhone screen recordings, PlayOn Cloud HD recordings, etc.

I had to replace the motherboard and processor of one of my PCs. Is there any way to get VideoRedo working on it? I've been using it daily for skimming and doing frame-accurate cuts and would like to be able to do it on this new PC as well. If I can't get VideoRedo running what is a suitable replacement?

Yeah...I would even bother with VideoReDo since its abandonware. Losslesscut is a good replacement. Open source and Free so if the dev dies or abadons the project, it can be forked

There is a workaround at https://www.reddit.com/r/videoredo/comments/1mwzga3/workaround_to_activation_issue/

There is no solution that works as well as VideoReDo. Luckily, I have two computers that already have an activated version, but I have a third that had to have the motherboard and CPU replaced.

Does that mean that the manual activation is no longer working?

There was a follow-up that I missed. See the thread that @tluxon linked.

I too was disappointed to find out that Video Redo was going away and sad the developer had passed. I used Video Redo for many years. Since then, I've began using some alternatives that are free and fairly easy to use.

For Windows, you can use DaVinci Resolve and Lossless Cut.
DaVinci Resolve is a professional level video editor, even the free version.
Lossless Cut is easy to use just to make cuts, but no transitions. As the name implies, it preserves the quality of the original file and it's fast.

For Linux, there is a version of Lossless Cut and for more detailed or complex editing, KdenLive. KdenLive is similar to DaVinci Resolve.

If you need to recode any of your video files to work with these programs I suggest Handbrake, also available for Windows and Linux and both are free.

Just installed on my LMDE 7 N150 mini pc and it was easy to install. I tested it on a 4k mvk video and it worked well preserving the quality and output was fast. Thanks for sharing. Another great tool to add to my video toolbox.
