Ume Movie Editor - Modern and lossless video editor

[SENGAMI]

I just released Ume Movie Editor - a video editing software that allows for fast and lossless editing of multiple files in one project, without the need to re-encode and without ballooning the file size. Free demo version is available.

Main features:
- Cut, resize, reorder and merge matching video files without losing quality.
- Fully editable subtitles and chapters.
- Easy to use interface with familiar controls: drag, drop, multiselect, undo, redo, autosave, keyboard and mouse shortcuts, zoom, pan etc.
- 10 times faster export speed than the fastest benchmarked competitor, details on the webpage.
- Available on desktop and mobile.

Does it re-encode if I don't cut on a key frame?

It never re-encodes, and the GUI prevents cutting anywhere other than a key frame - it's a limitation by design.

Which makes it useless as a proper NLE.

And of course as soon as you apply a burnt-in subtitle (or more-commonly termed "title') you'll be doing a full recode and the encode speed drop drastically.

It objectively is not useless. Everyone has their own use-case. Mine appeared when I had to edit a lot of vacation footage without losing quality, with added subtitles and chapters. The only way to do it was to juggle LosslessCut, SubtitleEdit, Notepad and MKVMerge. If I made any mistakes, it meant going back in the flow. That workflow was slow, painful and wasteful. That's why I created UME, which has all of these features in one package, speeding things up drastically. If your use-case is different, it might just not be a program for you, but that doesn't make it useless.

The subtitles added in UME are soft subtitles, which do not re-encode. If you meant adding a different kind of subtitles in some other program, then sure, but the same can be said about any other video manipulation in any other video program.
