Where Does VidCutter Store Projects?
VidCutter saves cuts as project files you place, with settings in the standard config dir.
Last updated
VidCutter projects live in files you save yourself. Clip boundaries, chapter marks, and smart-cut data resolve to the project file; exported videos are deliverables.
Settings and recent files live in the standard config directory per platform. Reinstalling loses preferences but never saved projects. Export for sharing, archive the project, and re-edits stay painless.
Where VidCutter stores this, by platform
Project files (location you choose at save)
Cut lists and chapters in files you choose. Export video for sharing, but archive the project file for re-edits.
~/.config/vidcutter/
Preferences and recent files under the config home. Projects live wherever saved; this folder holds settings only. If this folder is absent, VidCutter is likely running portably or under a different config home; check the About page for the active paths.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep an editable copy of my cuts?
Save the project file first, then export the cut video. The project keeps clip boundaries editable while the export is final; keep the project for re-edits.
