Why didn’t you use shotcut to concatenate the different videos

Shotcut uses the FFmpeg API for export, not the FFmpeg command line. Therefore, Shotcut does not offer native concatenation support. Exporting from Shotcut is always a reencoding of the source media. Meanwhile, FFmpeg command-line concatenation is not reencoded.

There was a longer comparison made in this thread. Start here and read down five or so posts for more details.

Automatically split export in separate chunks

I think it’s a good idea. Personally I don’t put long edits on one timeline. I create multiple chapters and render them individually. It also makes it easier for me to make tweaks and edits to just a part of the video without having re-render the whole thing again. Once I’m happy with all the individual parts of my video, I use the concatenate function of ffmpeg to combine them all together into one long file.
