What tools could I use on Ubuntu 16.04 to cut mp4 files into several clips? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

I found ffmpeg could do the task. To install the ffmpeg sudo apt-get install ffmpeg To copy a specific short duration from the video file.

ffmpeg -i original.mp4 -ss 00:01:52 -c copy -t 00:00:10 output.mp4

-i:input file. The file name of the original video clip.
-ss:start timestamp. In my case I tried to copy the new video from the original video started after 1 minute and 52 seconds.
-t:indicating the duration of the new video clip, in my case, 10 seconds.
Not sure parameter -c for, maybe the action? If some1 knows, let me know plz.
