Recently I came across a video that I wanted to split up into multiple files. Given my love for `ffmpeg` the video/audio swiss armyknife, I knew there had to be a solution for cutting a video on the terminal. Luckily on [AskUbuntu](https://askubuntu.com/a/56044), Luis Alvarado provides a command snippet. This post will go into slightly more detail on the flags used in the command
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 \
|
||||
-t 00:30:00 \
|
||||
-i input.mp4 \
|
||||
-vcodec copy \
|
||||
-acodec copy \
|
||||
output.mp4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Command | Description |
|
||||
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `-ss` | Position within the input file. Most file formats do not allow exact seeking, so ffmpeg will pick the closest seek point. Format is in *time duration* notation. |
|
||||
| `-t` | Limits the duration of data read from the input file. Format is in *time duration* notation. |
|
||||
| `-vcodec` | Format used to transcribe the video. Use `copy` to not transcribe to a different format. |
|
||||
| `-acodec` | Format used to transcribe the audio. Use `copy` to not transcribe to a different format. |
|
||||
|
||||
Time duration notation follows the format `<HH>:<MM>:<SS>` where `HH` is the number of hours, `MM` is the number of minutes, and `SS` is the number of seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
For this command in general, the output video length would be the same time duration as specified in the `-t` flag.
