lazycut is a terminal-based video trimming tool that offers a simple TUI for marking in/out points and exporting trimmed clips with aspect ratio control. The tool works across macOS and Windows platforms, making video editing accessible directly from the command line without launching resource-heavy applications.

Installation is straightforward: macOS users can install via Homebrew with `brew tap emin-ozata/homebrew-tap` followed by `brew install lazycut`, while Windows users download the latest binary from the releases page. The tool requires ffmpeg for video processing and chafa for terminal image rendering, both of which are easily installed through package managers.

Built in Go, lazycut provides keyboard shortcuts for efficient workflow: Space toggles play/pause, `h/l` seeks ±1 second, `H/L` seeks ±5 seconds, and `i/o` sets in/out points. The Enter key exports the trimmed clip, and `q` quits the application. Repeat counts work intuitively—typing `5l` seeks forward five seconds. This makes lazycut ideal for developers and content creators who prefer terminal workflows or need quick, precise video trimming without leaving their coding environment.
