FFCut: Cutting Video with FFMpeg for Human Beings

FFMpeg is a great tool, but cutting several parts of a video with it can become a complex task. This small script serves to help with it.

Install it from PyPI:

pip install --user ffcut

Note

--user flag makes pip install it to ~/.local/bin.

Then use like:

~/.local/bin/ffcut -i file1.mp4 -s ..0:10 -s 0:30..+20 -s 1:30..2:30 -s 3:00.. -i file2.mp4 -s 5:00.. -o final.mp4

Here you first specify input files with -i, then slices to take from each file with -s using format [begin]..[end] (both parts being optional).

You can also merge two or more files in one:

~/.local/bin/ffcut -i file1.mp4 -i file2.mp4 -o result.mp4

Use --copy flag to avoid re-encoding (may cause problems with playback).

Use built-in help for more details:

~/.local/bin/ffcut -h
