Hi, what is a usable piece of software in portage to do a quick edit
of a movie? (cut start/end and maybe splice a bit in/out of the middle?)

How easy should it be? Won't ffmpeg allow you to do this type of thing
but you need to do a bit of work to get what you need - no nice GUI?

I am using ffmeg now to reduce the video size. Its a Christmas message
taken on a lumix camera that needs to be sent a few thousand km over
what may be a flakey mobile link. I just wanted something I can play a
video, click on a point and delete everything before that. Same at the
end. Looking at kdelive its a stupidly complex program that has a steep
learning curve to do the above.
I'm looking for the same. On my PVR I just create two chapter marks, and
delete the section between the chapter marks.
With pretty much every bit of linux software I've found, I have to
import my source into a project, make a meal of deleting the sections I
don't want, and then I can't just "save a file", I have to tell the
program loads of crap that I don't have a clue about, I just want my new
file to be EXACTLY THE SAME as the original, just missing the bits I've
deleted.
Most software works like that, why doesn't video editing software?
Cheers,
Wol
