Where did you download it? From here https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases ? I ask because you wrote "LosslessCut-linux 3 23.AppImage" and the actual name's "LosslessCut-linux.appimage". Nothing's wrong with appimages in general. I use quite a few myself and they all work fine, however, I have noticed some electron based appimages do tend to fail due to permissions issues. Try running the app from terminal:
1. cd into appimage directory

cd /path/to/appimage

2. run the appimage from terminal

./LosslessCut-linux 3 23.AppImage

3. check/look for any messages you may get in the terminal as these will help troubleshooting the issue.

BTW, when downloading appimages, is a good practice to make sure it does have support; that it has a github page, for example. 

Hope this helps!

Re: Appimage installation problem

The appimage is called LosslessCut-linux.AppImage.

First of all make it executable

robin@flopsy:~/Downloads/applications$ chmod +x LosslessCut-linux.AppImage

Then try to run it - there's a bit of a problem as below.

robin@flopsy:~/Downloads/applications$ ./LosslessCut-linux.AppImage
[2274:0929/063141.585113:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /tmp/.mount_Lossle4wyNQh/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap
robin@flopsy:~/Downloads/applications$ 

So, after you have made it executable - as above - run it like this and it will work

./LosslessCut-linux.AppImage --no-sandbox
