I usually cut and remux video files with a paid Windows program, which is really intuitive to use. I don't mind paying for it, but my Windows PC is very old so now I'm trying to do the same in #kdenlive on my linux laptop. Still at the start of what looks like a steep learning curve.
One thing I just realised: the "project bin" is not like a recycle bin, but something to be used rather than avoided. I was ignoring all menu items that said something with 'bin' when looking for how to cut clips...
Still somewhat annoyed kdenlive can't open video files on network disks, while Windows had no problem with it.
(Oh, when looking up that Windows program, #VideoReDo, I found that the company has ceased due to the founder passing away last month. My attempts to switch are coincidental and not related!)

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •Ok, I think I sort of managed to do what I wanted, but it is incredibly slow and the output file is also transformed rather than just having its frames copied. The #kdenlive documentation provides an answer to the problem: it says not to use kdenlive for this, but #avidemux.
I think that sort of worked, but that program looks so old it doesn't fill me with much faith. E.g. it seems to not be able to handle wide-screen videos (16:9) in its preview area. And it also can't open files from network drives.
