![]() But, all the video editors were designed to make this easy to do from their built-in player or video clip preview player. Many of the multimedia video players like VLC and SMplayer can show the video times which can be used. In order to use any of the console terminal commands, you would have to know the start and end time positions of the video segment that you want to keep or cut (trim) or in the example provided the length in time from the starting position (duration) of what you want to keep which is harder to get IMHO than getting the start and end time while viewing the video in a video editor's built-in preview window. The PPA would keep it updated.Īs a long time computer user, I am very comfortable with using the console terminal, but I have to take issue with the comments stating that using the console terminal for video trimming and or editing is easier and quicker than using one of the desktop GUI video editors or video trimmer applications that are designed for this. ![]() I just installed Openshot in my systems using their "stable" PPA and I also downloaded their AppImage and both seem to work well. I think Foster might have considered opening another post for their issues regarding this. That's great that chiefjim who originally posted this is happy with a console terminal FFmpeg command solution provided by ajgreeny. I just read your post reply and the good replies to it. So, does anyone know why Openshot's manual update fails, and how to fix it? Some application may even have batch operation capability, saving the user a lot of typing. Even the OP may at some point require more operations or find the command tedious when working with multiple files, so it'd be great if we could find as many alternatives as possible and/or fix the Openshot manual upgrade issue.Īlso Flemur is right, dedicated applications have their own player which may be faster, easier and/or more accurate in the seeking operation than whatever external player the user may be ordinarily using, wouldn't require switching back and forth between player and Terminal, and more importantly would eliminate any possibility of a mistype. However, other users (such as myself and Foster above) requiring something more than simple trimming may stumble into this discussion, find references to various software and encounter same problems. Strictly for the trimming operation required by the OP yes, the ffmpeg command might be quicker and easier. no such functionality there either.Just out of interest, why not use the ffmpeg command I showed in my earlier post. To date.I cannot figure out a way to do it in Final Cut Pro. I own and use 2 of these programs just to get the simple jobs done.but I would much prefer to stay within Final Cut Pro. Another Windows program called Smart Renderer 6 can do it too. There is at least one under 100 dollar Windows video editor that can do this simple "smart encoding" after simple edits. Since 40 dollar stand alone programs can do this.one would think that functionality would be a not-too-hard feature to incorporate into Final Cut Pro. It would be a great convienience to be able to stay within Final Cut Pro to accomplish simple edits and trims without the time consuming process of re-encoding entire video files. I cannot seem to find a way to do similar simple "smart" trimming or editing without Final Pro wanting to re-encode the entire file. My question here is directed to Final Cut Pro. At present, the Windows version is much more stable than the Mac version. I now use with great results the program called Smartcutter by a company named Famering. QuickTime Player's trim option is good for a few straight cuts. (SmartCutter options have "Whole GOP mode" but I could not activate it). Unlike SmartCutter, Avidemux can show the GOP structure so the user can place the cut points at keyframes so no new frames are needed to re-encode (I could not spot any quality difference in newly generated frames, though). The results were very similar except Avidemux output lacked some GPS info (I used MP4v2 muxer because in my earlier tests it seemed better than the older MP4 mixer which caused the very first frame to open as a blank or black frame in MPEG Streamclip or Mojave's QuickTime Player).Īvidemux and SmartCutter are very similar with non-Apple GUI especially in SmartCutter.Īvidemux has much more options which might be overwhelming and need some tests before choosing the best workflow (the default is a straight lossless copy as MP4). I used mainly the default settings in this quick test. mp4 with QuickTime Player, Avidemux and SmartCutter and compared the output specs with Invisor. I briefly tested in Big Sur to trim a DJI P3P silent 4K D-log.
