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,

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

I spoke to soon. This script does not do what you are looking for. It
just allows you to select a rectangular section of the screen and crops
the rest. It does not allow you to remove sections of the video like the
beginning few minutes.
Regards,
Eric
