vicut

vicut is a little command line tool for cutting video files based on a list of timestamps.

Installation

Download the latest and greatest release of Python and add the binary in to your PATH.

Make sure you have a recent version of moviepy installed as well:

pip install moviepy

Usage

Cut the given video based on a list of timestamps passed in via CSV file.

Preparation

Given the following timestamps.csv:

yourFileName1, 00:00:00, 00:10:00
yourFileName2, 00:10:00, 00:15:00
yourFileName3, 00:15:00, 00:30:00

Move the video in the same directory as the vicut.py script and change the filename in line 15:

ffmpeg_extract_subclip("test.flv", start, end,
                        targetname=f"{filename}.flv")

Execution

Execute the script with the following command:

python vicut.py

Now the process starts generating new video files from the desired timestamps.

Script output

The script will display the following output when a single process has completed successfully.
