It is a limited editor hence I find it to be one of the simplest to use. You can use freeware editor like Shotcut.All i want to do is cut a large chunk out of the middle of a movie and join the 2 halves together
Ive tried windows movie maker and its awfull
ps: it would be great if it could delete a section without having to re render the entire film
yeah simple I used it to make this clip from a film, as you can see I must of joined ~30 clips togetherWould I be able to cut a section out of a film join the 2 halves together without having to re-render or re-encode the film ? (mp4)
This will split a file into two files, the first one containing the first hour, the second from 1:10:00 until it's hypothetical end at 2:10:00. If the movie is shorter, let's say 1:50:00 it will work too, so you don't have to know the length. Just put the right numbers to skip. Then generate input.txt file and put on it:ffmpeg -i movie-name -acodec copy -vcodec copy -ss 00:00:00 -t 01:00:00 output1.mp4 && ffmpeg -i movie-name -acodec copy -vcodec copy -ss 01:10:00 -t 01:00:00 output2.mp4
Then enter on command line:file output1
file output2
and be done with that.ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i input.txt -c copy final-output.mp4
file output1.mp4
file output2.mp4
ffmpeg -i movie-name -acodec copy -vcodec copy -ss 00:00:00 -t 01:00:00 output1.mp4 && ffmpeg -i movie-name -acodec copy -vcodec copy -ss 01:10:00 -t 01:00:00 output2.mp4
ffmpeg -i movie-name -acodec copy -vcodec copy -ss 00:00:00 -t 01:00:00 output1.mp4
ffmpeg -i movie-name -acodec copy -vcodec copy -ss 01:10:00 -t 01:00:00 output2.mp4
Isn't "&&" a feature of the Linux/Unix shell?
If so under Windows simply run one command after another :
when you say ffmpeg -i movie-name
do you mean exactly that or for example if my movie is called dav1.mp4 do you mean ffmpeg -i dav1.mp4
ffmpeg -i movie-name -c copy -ss 00:00:00 -t 01:00:00 output1.mp4
ffmpeg -i movie-name -c copy -ss 01:10:00 -t 01:00:00 output2.mp4
