Avidemux While for-pay video editors have just started to figure out that you don't need to re-encode a file if you've only cut some frames out, Avidemux has always been that smart. As long as you're editing a single file, or a group of files with the same characteristics, then you simply save the result. Only the navigation information, key frames, etc. are updated.
muvee Pixie Muvee Pixie ($30) is little sibling to, or subset of, Muvee's full Reveal video authoring utility. Reveal's claim to fame is its ability to automatically create professional-looking movie projects using prefab styles. Pixie does the same thing, but is less expensive and somewhat limited--though not to the point that it can't be useful.
