Thread: Quickly "crop" the length of a video file

let's have existing video file (perhaps 30 minutes long) want cut out small snippet out of (usually between 30 seconds , 2 minutes) such quote long lecture.

there tool allows "crop" section out of existing video file?

• i want video/audio encoding of output video match encoding of input video (of course go through output settings 1 one , make sure match up, seems unnecessary.
• i don't want wait 5 minutes entire video render, of video should rendered last keyframe, right?

need arises me rather frequently, wondering if there existing application this? (as right now, i'm doing manually in pitivi relatively slow , arduous process)

try ffmpeg.
if want save part of original video starting from, say, 25th minute , lasting 5 minutes, you'd give:

code:

ffmpeg -i original_video.ext -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:25:00 -t 00:05:00 output_video.ext
