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


I have not tried this myself but has anyone tried "easycrop". It is a script that uses mpv to do the hard work.
