Fastest way to cut and remove parts of a video
Solution 1:
It is possible that your software is re-encoding the file. If you just want to copy a 5 second chunk of the movie, you can use this command:
ffmpeg -i YourFile.mp4 -ss 00:10:25 -t 00:00:05 -acodec copy -vcodec copy Output.mp4
- Where
-iis the name of your file. -
-ssis the start position in Hours:Minutes:Seconds -
-tis how long a clip you want - again in HH:MM:SS - The
acodecandvcodectellsffmpegjust to copy the file without changing it at all.
That's about the fastest you can get it.
