Moving from VideoReDo

Equivalent workflows, project interchange and the intentional differences to expect.

What remains familiar

SmartCut64 retains the established source/thumbnail/timeline/cut-list layout, Mark In/Out workflow, Cut Selection and Trim Unselected commands, Edit/Preview toggle, chapter navigation, Joiner concept, output profiles and many default keyboard shortcuts.

Supported VideoReDo project, batch, Joiner and title interchange preserves fields SmartCut64 understands, including source paths, selections, cut/scene mode, profiles and synchronization values. Always test a copy of an important project before relying on interchange.

Important differences

  • SmartCut64 is 64-bit and supports a broader modern codec/container test matrix.
  • Export completion is gated by structural, timing, stream and payload validation.
  • Hardware decode/transcode advice is determined on the current machine and stored per codec.
  • DVD menu authoring and disc burning are not included.
  • There is no VideoReDo COM/ActiveX automation interface and no CRID-specific file workflow.

Independent implementation

Compatibility references describe user-facing interoperability only. SmartCut64 is independent software and does not claim sponsorship, endorsement or access to VideoReDo proprietary source code.
