FFmpeg Video Clipper: Precise Video Segment Editing

Using the ffmpeg engine, precisely extract any segment you need from a long video and save it as a new video file. Supports single file processing as well as batch clipping of videos in entire folders.

⚡️ Quick Start: Extract a 30-Second Segment

1. Click Select File or Select Folder to import your video.
2. In "Time Settings", enter the start time (for example, 00:01:00 means starting from the 1-minute mark).
3. Enter or select the clip duration (for example, click the "30 seconds" preset button).
4. Select an output location.
5. Click the "Execute" button. After the command completes, you'll get a clipped video file.

🤔 When Should I Use It?

• You want to extract the most exciting segment from a movie to share with friends.

⚙️ Parameter Description

Input Method

You can choose two ways to import videos:

• Select File: Select one or more video files at once for processing.
• Select Folder: Select a folder, and the tool will apply the same clipping settings to all video files in that folder. This is very efficient for batch processing.

Time Settings

This is the core of the clipping function, where you need to specify two values:

• Start Time: The time point from which you want to start clipping from the video. Format is hours:minutes:seconds (HH:MM:SS).
• Clip Duration: Starting from the start time, how long you want the clipped segment to be. Also uses hours:minutes:seconds (HH:MM:SS) format. We also provide quick selection buttons for common durations.

Output Settings

• Output Format: You can specify a new format for the clipped video segments, supporting mp4, avi, mov, mkv.
• Output Location: Choose a folder to save all the new clipped videos.

⚠️ Dependency Installation

Before using this tool, you need to install FFmpeg on your Mac. If you have Homebrew installed, just run this once in the terminal:
