Description: |
|
|
|
If you want to remove parts of a video, you have to cut it into pieces |
|
and then |
|
merge the pieces, so you can avoid parts you don't want. |
|
|
|
The command is not obvious at all (like in all ffmpeg uses), I found |
|
some parts |
|
on differents areas of the Internet. |
|
|
|
Split in parts, we want to keep from 00:00:00 to 00:30:00 and 00:35:00 |
|
to 00:45:00 |
|
|
|
ffmpeg -i source_file.mp4 -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:30:00 -acodec copy |
|
-vcodec copy part1.mp4 |
|
ffmpeg -i source_file.mp4 -ss 00:35:00 -t 00:10:00 -acodec copy |
|
-vcodec copy part2.mp4 |
|
|
|
The -ss parameter tells ffmpeg where to start the video and -t |
|
parameter tells |
|
it about the duration. |
|
|
|
Then, merge the files into one file: |
|
|
|
printf "file %s\n" part1.mp4 part2.mp4 > file_list.txt |
|
ffmpeg -f concat -i file_list.txt -c copy result.mp4 |
|
|
|
instead of printf you can write into file_list.txt the list of files |
|
like this: |
|
|
|
file /path/to/test1.mp4 |
|
file /path/to/test2.mp4 |
|
