Thanks for the suggestion, never heard of this one. I took a look, and it sounds promising. I will try to get it installed and let you know how it is working for a novice at video clipping and editing like myself.

Here in their main page for anyone else who may be interested in checking this one out:

Update: This works great, although it took me a while to figure out the controls. Here is my first clip that I cut with it as a test:

Sounds perfect for grabbing clips. I now have it downloaded and I have run into a "little snag". I don;t know what to do with the file now- lol.

If you know how to proceed, would you be so kind as to please guide me through this? Been a while since I have manually installed anything on Linux (Ubuntu), and I generally find a walk through to do so and I don't see one for this. I have now isolated it in its own folder, and I think now I use the right click in folder method for opening the terminal - correct?

Edit to add: Here it is open in terminal. Kind of lost now....

I'll double reply here to ping you. I found this (posted yesterday even) walkthrough for installing appimage files. I think I can get it done, will let you know.

Edit_ All is good. Working.
