Or in other cases, you need to create a video project but it requires you extract certain parts from a long-length movie.

No. 1. Joyoshare Media Cutter (Mac & Windows)

General speaking, Joyoshare Media Cutter is not a completely free video splitting tool. We call it freeware because it provides 5 full opportunities for users to cut any video and audio for free. After that, you’ll pay to get the full features.

Anyway, the reason why we list Joyoshare Media Cutter here is because it’s not only a video cutter, but also an audio trimmer. It aims to cut large video and audio files, including MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, MKV, MPEG, 3GP, MP3, AAC, OGG, WAV, etc. to smaller segments with 100% lossless quality preserved in just seconds. Besides, it also converts the trimmed video clips to popular formats and preset output profiles, such as Apple iPhone, iPad, Samsung, Nexus, HTC, Kindle Fire, Xbox, PSP, etc.
