I use Kdenlive for most of my video editing needs, but I have most of the Linux video editors installed for testing and reviewing purposes.
LOSSLESSCUT INSTRUCTIONS INSTALL
These are some of the minimum packages I recommend to install.Ĭode: Select all sudo apt install ffmpeg x264 x265 mencoder lame ubuntu-restricted-extras mediainfo mediainfo-gui There is an FFmpeg v4 PPA for Linux Mint 19.x and older systems. FFmpeg 3 may or may not work with some newer video formats.
LOSSLESSCUT INSTRUCTIONS SOFTWARE
In Linux Mint 20, FFmpeg v4 is in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM), but not in previous versions like Linux Mint 19.x or before. FFmpeg may or may not be installed by default. Linux requires that you install various multi-media packages that various multi-media applications can use including video editors and players some of which are installed when you installed Linux Mint by checking install 3rd party apps and some are not. You can get information about the video file by right-clicking it and selecting media info (may need to install mediainfo packages first) and post the information results back here (remove video file name if you so desire).
If none of the video editors are working for you, then perhaps something is wrong with the video file or your system setup. If you keep the same video dimensions and format, it will go quicker without having to "transcode" the video. You just mark the beginning of the video clip you want to keep and mark the end of the video you want to keep and add it to the timeline (repeat if necessary), then just click export or save as or render to create the new video. But, all the video editors were designed to make this easy to do from their built-in player or video clip preview player. Many of the multimedia video players like VLC and SMplayer can show the video times which can be used. In order to use any of the console terminal commands, you would have to know the start and end time positions of the video segment that you want to keep or cut (trim) or in the example provided the length in time from the starting position (duration) of what you want to keep which is harder to get IMHO than getting the start and end time while viewing the video in a video editor's built-in preview window.
The PPA would keep it updated.Īs a long time computer user, I am very comfortable with using the console terminal, but I have to take issue with the comments stating that using the console terminal for video trimming and or editing is easier and quicker than using one of the desktop GUI video editors or video trimmer applications that are designed for this. I just installed Openshot in my systems using their "stable" PPA and I also downloaded their AppImage and both seem to work well. I think Foster might have considered opening another post for their issues regarding this. That's great that chiefjim who originally posted this is happy with a console terminal FFmpeg command solution provided by ajgreeny. I just read your post reply and the good replies to it.
LOSSLESSCUT INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO
So, does anyone know why Openshot's manual update fails, and how to fix it?
Some application may even have batch operation capability, saving the user a lot of typing.
LOSSLESSCUT INSTRUCTIONS UPGRADE
Even the OP may at some point require more operations or find the command tedious when working with multiple files, so it'd be great if we could find as many alternatives as possible and/or fix the Openshot manual upgrade issue.Īlso Flemur is right, dedicated applications have their own player which may be faster, easier and/or more accurate in the seeking operation than whatever external player the user may be ordinarily using, wouldn't require switching back and forth between player and Terminal, and more importantly would eliminate any possibility of a mistype. However, other users (such as myself and Foster above) requiring something more than simple trimming may stumble into this discussion, find references to various software and encounter same problems. Strictly for the trimming operation required by the OP yes, the ffmpeg command might be quicker and easier.
Just out of interest, why not use the ffmpeg command I showed in my earlier post.
