How to cut video according to start and end time in FFmpeg?
For more information, look at this official ffmpeg article. Use -c copy for make in instantly. In that case ffmpeg will not re-encode video, just will cut to according size. Drop everything except from second 3 to second 8. You can make bash do the math for you, and it works with milliseconds.
Why is FFmpeg having trouble finding the proper points?
After some more browsing and reading, I then suspected that the problem is that ffmpeg is having trouble finding the proper points because of a lack of keyframes in the original video. So I recoded the original video to (presumably) add keyframes, in a couple of different ways.
How to split codec copy in seeking FFmpeg?
Basically, if you specify “second 157” and there is no key frame until second 159, it will include two seconds of audio (with no video) at the start, then will start from the first key frame. So be careful when splitting and doing codec copy.
Is there a way to globalize FFmpeg files?
Most ffmpeg options aren’t global, but instead only apply to the file they precede. It’s often not obvious where an option needs to go, so sometimes trial and error is required. Used correctly, before the input file they’re meant to apply to, -ss and -t worked fine for me.
When to use re-encoding or copy in FFmpeg?
Re-encoding is the default if you do not specify copy. For example: When re-encoding you may also wish to include additional quality-related options or a particular AAC encoder. For details, see ffmpeg’s x264 Encoding Guide for video and AAC Encoding Guide for audio. Also, the -t option specifies a duration, not an end time.
Can you use an edit list in FFmpeg?
If you are using the latest ffmpeg from git master it will do this using an edit list when invoked using the command that you provided. If this is not working for you then you are probably either using an older version of ffmpeg, or your player does not support edit lists.

Do you have to re-encode a video in FFmpeg?
The video will have to be decoded until it reaches the position implied by -ss, and only then it starts copying the bitstream. This can take a long time, especially for really long videos. If you leave out the -c copy option, ffmpeg will automatically re-encode the output video and audio according to the format you chose.
Is there a way to concatenate MP4 files in FFmpeg?
There are a few different concatenation options in FFmpeg, and in our case it is the “concat demuxer” we need, as the “concat protocol” won’t work with mp4 files. To use the concat demuxer we first need to create a simple text file containing the details of each file we want to concatenate. Let’s create inputs.txt with the following content:
How to cut video with or without re-encoding?
The options -vcodec copy and -acodec copy are used to only cut the video and disable the re-encoding, this really speed things up. Make sure you download a recent version of ffmpeg, and don’t use the one that comes with your distribution (e.g. Ubuntu). Packaged versions from various distributions are often outdated and do not behave as expected.
