I love LosslessCut, having only found it a few days ago. THANK YOU for sharing it!

I've researched and tried to learn how to use "Filter Tracks", but can't get it to work well or work consistently. I'd like to see an option to automate common steps, like removing labeled advertisement segments from MP4 files, as follows...

Current workflow:

Drop MP4 into the DROP FILE(S) window.
Select "Import chapters".
Click on the upper left-hand corner button called "Tracks (4/5)" (in this example).
In the Tracks screen, click on any NON-video and NON-audio icons to DE-select them, leaving only "video" and "audio" tracks to be kept. Click the upper right-hand "X" to keep choices.
In the right-hand "Segments to export:" column, manually DE-select every "Advertisement" segment, leaving only the Video segments.
Click on the "Export+merge" button to let LosslessCut do its work.

Proposed workflow (upon launching LosslessCut the first time):

For each new LosslessCut session, basically go through the selection steps above (PLUS number 4, below), but in a recording mode which, based on user selections, would create a template for that LosslessCut session which would execute the (now recorded) steps performed by the user for every file dropped into the DROP FILE(S) window during that LosslessCut session. The user would make choices for each of these one-time steps to record the template's contents:

1. Select "Import chapters".
2. Select ONLY the "video" and "audio" tracks.
3. In "Segments to export", select only the "Video" segments.
4. In "Segments to export", DE-select "Video" segments shorter than a user-selectable duration.
5. Execute the "Export+merge" function.

Result:

After having performed the "record-the-steps" exercise when first opening LosslessCut, the user would subsequently just have to drop a new file into the DROP FILE(S) window, then when the "Export+merge" is finished, just press the "Close" button, saving many, Many, MANY clicks per file.

Note

Even if the Proposed workflow recording session required the user to select (from a list of DE-selected tracks) the ones the user wants to always use ("video" and "audio"), and another decision-making item to select (from a list of DE-selected segments) "Video", that would be fine. The method of selecting the items isn't that important; whatever's easiest for you to code. But the result would be a HUGE savings of time for someone with thousands of MP4s to work on.

Thanks!
