I have lot of large gopro videos (have a 4 year old with all 4 years of gopro videos), that I painstakingly have to edit when my 256 GB card fills up (currently I have 500GB of vodes sitting) . No matter how careful you are while recording it has some parts that needs to be trimmed out for saving space and also play time. As of now I use quickplayer loading single videos for each and every one and have to save them carefully. I have not found any app or tool that can efficiently just show me the files on a sidebar that I can select and edit using simple edit options like trim to remove unwanted parts in 3 to 10GB files. anyone know any tools that work. The tools suggested here did not even load these files :( 1. clipjs.vercel.app 2. https://pikimov.com/app/ 3. https://omniclip.app/

I will happily pay for this tool. AI to show me the part where there are no humans, I will pay more :) by ofcourse all locally and no cloud shenanigans. Of course people saying why record so much, why do we do anything ? :) try to be optimistic nihilist

Please don't only start to edit the videos when you fill up the 256GB card. You would regret when you have to recover lost files from it. I've seen too many people lose irreplaceable memories due to card corruption or accidental deletion and it is even painful for me to scan and recover their >256GB cards.

Move them out as early as you can and do regular backups. Videos of your child are much more precious than a whole backup solution.

The problem is that its stored in IndexedDB in the browser, which has a 2 GB limit. also FFmpeg (WASM), which renders the files, cannot process files larger than 2–4 GB. So the tool needs to be running either on the cloud or locally outside the browser like Adobe Premiere.

I use LosslessCut for simple edits like this, works pretty well. Allows you to merge and split without reencoding.
