First, thanks for the feedback!

Good point. I agree the help should run asynchroniously. I leveraged a function I wrote several years ago that uses the amigaguide.library and at the time I couldn't figure out how to make it run asynchroniously. I should update it sometime. In the mean time you can open the guide file outside the program or use the extensive gadget hints. Every gadget should have good hints. Maybe better than the help.

: set on "end time" 5 (so, start time are 0, and so i want to delete first 5 seconds).
Cutting in VideoClipper cuts the portion of the video you want to keep, not the portion you want to delete. If you want to cut off the first 5 seconds of a video then set the Start Time to 00:00:05.000 and leave the End Time at 00:00:00.000. No End Time specified means to continue to the end of the video.

press "cut" in the main tab - it run mencoder, do stuff, but button "Play output" still ghosted.
The cut button under the playlist will only cut the selected video in the list. Use the Preview button under the list to view it.

Then i repeat the steps, and tryed to use "Cut Only" button: again menoder starts, do stuff, but "Plat Output" still ghosted.
The "Cut Only" button just cuts all the files in the list and doesn't create an Output File. You can then use the "Preview" button to view the cut files. (if I remember right). If you use the "Cut & Join" button an output file will be created and the "Play Output" button will be activated. I can see where this can be a bit confusing if you are only want to cut one entry.

And all the auto-saved files all the time the same size as original, without cutting.
Hmmm....are you sure your end time is set properly? Sounds
like your End Time is set longer than the total video time or is so small as to not make a difference in the file size. The format is Hours:Minutes:Seconds:miliseconds. I'll double check but this should work fine.

In virtualdub cuttin done just like this: user load a file via "open file", then just choice start time, end time, and press "delete", so that areas just cuts. Then he choice "save" and save edited video. Imho pretty handy.
I'm not familiar with Virtualdub but from a quick look at the Website it looks like Virtualdub is intended to just cut out the peices of the video you
want to delete and process what is left. Doesn't look like it can join videos. I could be wrong.
VideoClipper is designed to cut the peices of multiple videos you
want to keep, process them then join them together, or you can cut out multiple peices of a longer video and join them together. A little different concept than Virtualdub.

How just i can load a video file, cut a part from it, and save ?
Good question. I can see where this coudl be confusing given the design of VideoClipper.
Here are the steps to cut the first 5 seconds off a video:
1. In the Clip Editor tab use the Add button to select the video you want to cut.
2. Set the Start Time to 00:00:05.000 and leave the End Time at 00:00:00.000.
3. In the Video/Audio Profile tab, set the Profile to Copy.
Ensure the Video and Audio Codec's get set to Copy.
4. Make sure you have "Output File" set to where you want to save the resulting video.
5. Click "Cut & Join" at the bottom of the window.
(I admit this part is confusing. Why Join is you only have one video.)
The cut file will now be written to the Output File location and the "Play Output" button should be activated.
Thanks for the input and all you do for the comunity kas1e.
Check out the gadget hints. Their help is sometimes better (unfortunatly) than the VideoClipper.guide help.
Also, feel free to email me. My address is in the Contact section of the help file.
