How to cut a mp4 video
Problem:
You have a video and just need cut a part and save!. You don’t need to re-encode the video.
Solution 1: Using ffmpeg in bash
INPUT="/media/rogelio/timemachine/curso-linux-gerardoalumno/sesion 06/Sesion 6.mp4"
OUTPUT="/media/rogelio/timemachine/curso-linux-gerardoalumno/sesion 06/output.mp4"
ffmpeg -i "$INPUT" -ss 00:27:43 -to 03:05:57 -vcodec copy -acodec copy "$OUTPUT"
Solution 2: Using Kdenlive software
If you are in for the easy graphical interface, then there’s actually a way to do this:
- Start Kdenlive or start new empty project.
- Drag your source video clip into the project bin.
- Select your clip, so it gets shown in the clip monitor.
- Use the clip monitor controls to play and pause, etc.
- To set the start point: this is termed in “in” point by simply pressing the “I” key. A marker will appear on the time scale in the clip monitor.
- To set the end point or “out” point: press the “O” key. A second marker appears and the region in between is highlighted.
- Right click in the monitor and select “save region” (or “Extract zone” in version 22).
- Enter new filename, click ok.
- Your clip in the project bin will show a progress bar. Wait for it to disappear.
