Maybe some day it will come to Linux! I think technically most of it would already work there, but some stuff requires native windowing API calls that I'll need to figure out and port over... plus all the install/distribution stuff... and the, uh, enhanced surface area for support haha. It would be awesome to get it running on Linux though.

I haven't played with Smooth Cut, I'll have to check that out. It sounds handy! Might be something I could just "turn on" in the XML file too, I'm not sure.

we linux users sometimes don't need any windows. Maybe you could also develop a cli version? Then something like this would be possible: recut input.mp4 --padding=123 --output=video output.mp4 btw, you created an impressive software. Very useful!

A CLI would be pretty cool, but personally I think much of the value of Recut comes from the live preview of what you're doing - having to export a 20 minute video only to re-export it again because the padding was too short is cumbersome to say the least.

Yeah, 100%, this is why I made Recut in the first place. The CLI approach would be great to support though and I can see some other really nice side effects of having that, like being able to batch-edit a whole folder of videos.
