Video editing is a complicated task, with motion pictures requiring heavy amounts of post-processing to remove imperfections or add effects. But besides video enhancements, they also need to be trimmed to make the timing just right. This is where specialized applications like VideoReDo TVSuite come in handy, letting you handle a large variety of video files and split them into multiple pieces.

The main window makes a good first impression. Elements are well organized, with a large preview area fitted with a frame timeline and progress slider for good analysis. A side panel is used to store all parts you cut out of the video, playback controls are at your fingertips, with several speed levels, as well as intuitive functions to set start and end points for the trimming task.File support isn't really what you'd expect, with formats like MPG, REC, TS, TP, TIVO, VOB and WTV being the ones you can use. Adding them is done through the file menu or simply by dragging them over the main window. You can add more external files to make larger videos and manage all sections you trim by arranging them in the side panel.

Easily remove ads from videos

However, you only get to work with technical specifications, with no options whatsoever to enhance your motion pictures. It would have been useful to see at least a few color management settings or simple effect layers to add.There is one feature that adds a little to practicality. Found under the homonimouse menu entry, the “Ad-detective” tool automatically scans your imported video for possible adds according to some specifications. The application gives you control over them, with options to set detection area, threshold level, whether or not to automatically cut detected scenes and a few more.
