Part2: Part of movie between 10 and 20 seconds that you want to overlay (obtained with ffmpeg -i SourceFileName -ss 10 -t 10 -c:a copy -c:v copy SourceFileNameP2 ) Part3: End of movie (obtained with `ffmpeg -ss 20 -c:a copy -c:v copy) Bonus tip: you can get slower but more exact cutting by moving the `-ss parameter to before the output file.
