I've used it so far to make versions for Instagram and Tiktok. This one has been really handy for making time lapses of my wife's design work.Taking the decimated video and creating a time lapse of any duration in seconds by calculating the value needed to adjust the presentation timestamps to get the desired duration. This is really useful for making time lapses of processes, as you remove all the dead frames and you get only 100% action going on.

FFMPEG took a whole 20 seconds.Ĭleaning up a video clip by removing "frozen frames", using the FFMPEG filter called mpdecimate (Frozen frames are sections of a video where there appears to be nothing happening, hence it looks frozen) When I did the same thing in Davinci Resolve, it took 15ish minutes to render out the clip. I mean the simplest and ideal process I can think of is: I toss the videos in the editor, i click an option to disable re-encoding, i choose the sections I want. The main benefit of this is that this process does not cause a re-encode, which saves an amazing amount of time. So I wanted to know if there are any gui (video editors) that support this functionality of ffmpeg in a more manageable manner.I go over three main common tasks I've needed to do recently with only FFMPEG:Ĭutting out a section of a video into its own file So I've been messing around with FFMPEG alot to see how much video editing I can do without using an actual GUI video editor, so far it turns out that the answer is quite a bit.
