Fastest way to automatically split video into shorter segments

[@mustafaozkan4572]

I lost 2 hours with paid and complicated tools, then I saw your video and applied it. I was able to split an 18GB video into pieces in just 15 minutes. Thanks a lot!

[@CuriosidadesParaPensar-nn9sn]

me too

[@roundtheoutsidef1]

Still works in 2023, wow. This is exactly what I needed for my YT Channel, cutting videos is really time consuming. Now, I already cut what I needed for fair use. I already subbed, thank you so much!

[@chetanwasnik8077]

Thanks thanks thanks man . This worked , i just splitted whole movie in just few seconds . You save much time by making this useful informative video . Thanks.

[@CyrVODs]

literal lifesaver. was about to export each part in premiere which would have took me 5 hours for each 3:30 part. with this it was done in 5 minutes max

[@JBroadway]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to create this. This is extremely helpful

[@Shakespeare1612]

Great I used this on a long WAV file. I needed audio segments 1 second long. FFMPEG is an awesome time saver. For all readers and viewers here is my command. It is almost identical but you can cut and paste the text from here: ffmpeg -i "input.wav" -c copy -map 0 -segment_time 00:00:01 -f segment clip%04d.wav

[@MBTIMemes]

Thank you so much, exactly what I was looking for !

[@easyrecipes121]

Thank you so much for the guide bro. And If you have 100 video in 1 folder ( or more than 100 ), you wan to split each video to 40 minutes ( or other time) . You can "ctrl A" all of videos and rename them to A (1) to A (100) then you just paste command : FOR /L %G IN (1,1,100) DO ( ffmpeg -i "a (%G).mp4" -c copy -map 0 -segment_time 00:00:40 -f segment -reset_timestamps 1 "output_%G_%03d.mp4" ) They will spit all of video for you.

[@RTX4090-yx8qf]

ffmpeg is not recognized as internal or external commend. Any help?

[@MusictoHeal-bu8ts]

I must tell you that You have helped us to resolve a major issue and led us to work smarter way. hats off brother. love u

[@deefactual]

Incredible man, incredible voice, incredible guide. Sitting here looking at my speed=1.37x while you are munching through 42x does leave a sadness in my heart though

[@MichaelClark]

You are amazing, no bs, straight to the point, very simple to follow and well explained. You are a genius, sir! Thank you.

[@heldafallenangel8565]

I'm having an error when i follow the instruction. I get error "Error opening input: No such file or directory. What should i do?

[@tdaviau]

Question. I have a video that is made up of multiple "scenes" pasted together (all of varying lengths). Is there a way to automatically strip the individual scenes out as individual files (without the audio)?

[@RealGameriel]

I used this, but tweaked it so it would be 3 half hour splits so it would make it easeier to edit in premier, however it finishes processing with no output, what am i doing wrong?

[@MBTIMemes]

Hi, thanks a lot for this amazing tutorial, but I have one question: Does this also work with audio files? specifically with .wav files? Thanks a lot!

[@gobb_]

how do I save the clips to a different disk?

[@tamasszanka5866]

How do I do the same thing with timestamps (various length) based, instead of equal 5 minute sections?

[@nottyseel949]

The billion-dollar question apparently. I was beginning to think I was the only person in the world that ever faced this situation. Were you able to find a solution?

[@Drakath-rb6gg]

This makes splitting video into a disgustingly easy job, thank you so much for the guide!

[@andregoepfert2745]

This is a lifesaver! Saved me hours of work!! Thank you!

[@anamariamarcos9547]

Thank you so much for this very neat tip to split in equal episodes a large video clip. Appreciate this so much Sir. :-)

[@jln5352]

Can ffmpeg join video vignette in all splited parts? And also an end vignette

[@user32352]

How can i do this by frame in the video, if i want the first x frames as a video not by seconds?

[@WineCountryFlix]

how can you do this in batch? multiple files?

[@harshs8984]

Finally your tutorial saved my time, Thank you

[@PJ-mb3ue]

Dude thank you sooo much!! I knew there had to be a better way!!!

[@christopherrimplington3643]

what if I wanna "delete" short segments of the video and keep the edited version of the whole video?

[@simplyfyi8935]

Awesome...worked like magic. Thank a lot for sharing.

[@CartoonClips420]

ffmpeg -i "video.mp4" -c copy -map 0 -segment_time 00:01:30 -f segment -reset_timestamps 1 Part_%02d.mp4

try this for short clips: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -c:a copy -map 0 -segment_time 10 -reset_timestamps 1 -f segment output_%03d.mp4 Rate this comment if it helped, to this other user too. 👍

[@user-is2zv4sc6y]

Say that I do want the output to go to a different folder or even a different drive, how do I specify that, exactly?

[@No-channel47]

Hi, can we do zoom in and out with FFMPEG aswell Fast ?? And also merge videos after splitting?? Thanks for helping

[@mohamedbella2652]

I'd like u to have my kids man. That was so much time saving! Thank u so much

[@Mark_135]

Thanks for teaching. QUESTION: can you use ffmpeg to split videos where the scene changes? liked & subscribed.

[@loydloyd726]

Ok, here is a wierd thing, when i raun the command in CMD mode it works, but if i put it in a .bat file it does NOT. any idea why?

[@judehariot8076]

Tip for those who might run into the following error: 'Could not write header (incorrect codec parameters ?): Muxer not found' 'Error opening output file EasyStickWeldBeading-07-19-24.mkv' 'Error opening output files: Muxer not found' Try changing whatever you have your output file name is to one that has no spaces in it.

[@MarcusBoswell]

is this a similar process on Mac OR are you aware of how to achieve the same thing on a mac?

[@faktahati1007]

Hi help me im tried to split my video to the 5 seconds each but when im using thise tutorial my video is not splited with consistently duration on 5 seconds but some was 4 sec, 6 sec 7 sec 10 sec etc can you help me so i can splited my video with consistent duration on 5 seconds? thank you so much

[@Keeper_Arts]

can it reduce video seize to a minimum ?

[@therileydaniels]

I keep getting this error and cannot seem to find an answer for it Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument Error initializing output stream 0:2 --

[@loydloyd726]

Also, can you do this in a batch file? Thank You for your help

[@brandonnoronha5535]

Hi! I am getting repeated message 1 after entering the command line. Please help me

[@ItsAssassin]

you sir are amazing, ty.

[@centralindian]

Bro need your help. Everyday I split video file into multiple segments and with different dimensions as well. It's really painful to open premiere pro just to cut and crop and then export. I will appreciate if you could help me out here. Take this as an example, video.mp4 has to be split in total 24 segments, 8 for Facebook (1000 x1000) | 8 for KZbin (1920 x 1080) | 8 for Twitter (720x956). In short one clip (for e.g 00:00:00 to 00:15:00) will have to be exported in 3 different dimensions.

[@raman1572]

Ffmpeg is not recognised as an internal or external command,

[@jspergaming]

Dude he says specifically how to install it if you get this.

[@intoxxau]

Thanks for the vid. How does ffmpeg determine the length of each clip? I'm targeting exactly 30 seconds per clip, but when I use the method described in this video I get clips that alternate between 27 and 33 seconds. Is there another parameter for ffmpeg that will force it to output a specific number of frames per clip to achieve clips that are exactly 30 seconds long?

[@intoxxau]

I think the issue is a weird keyframe interval on my source video, combined with the fact that ffmpeg will only cut to the nearest keyframe . The only solution I found so far is to re-encode using keyint=125:scenecut=0 (source file is 25fps) to create a keyframe every 5 seconds. That way there's a keyframe exactly on the clip interval and it cuts to 30 seconds exactly. Well, almost... the keyframe is actually inserted on frame 126, 251, 376 etc... but since they are all off by the same 1 frame I don't actually lose any frames, just the first segment is 1 frame longer than it should be

same here. I have an 10min Video wich I wanna cut into 60 clipa each 10s. The 1st 7 are fine, then I get 17s, 2s,10s.......

[@intoxxau]

​@ the issue is no keyframe on the frame where you want to split, use: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec libx264 --x264-params keyint=24:scenecut=0 -acodec copy output.mp4 Change the keyint number to your video fps. this sets the keyframe interval to match video fps, meaning there is a keyframe on the first frame of each second of video. Afterwards you can split to the exact frame. I use Losslesscut for the actual splitting now so its more user friendly and no re-encoding required for the split video Alternatively when you're exporting the full video you want to split later check if you can set the keyframe interval to match video fps there

@@intoxxau Thanks for the lossless tipp. It seems that the correct cut is just done with the experimental intelligent option.

[@nottyseel949]

@@intoxxau Is Losslesscut a separate application? I'm extremely new to video editing. Also trying to understand exactly what a "keyframe" is, in editing terms at least? Sounds like "digital perforations" that the system or app can recognize as segments? The smallest intervals of a given video?

[@Figment954]

Wow!! Thank you so much for this! Saved me tons of time!

[@ladocinema]

Holy shit! You're a lifesaver!

[@DJDream]

this just saved me soo much time!!!!! TY

[@GamingArenaMianwali]

[@reybet6532]

is there any tutorial like this for mac?

[@kcvinu]

Hi, This video is really helpful. Well, i am beginner in FFMpeg. I need to slice one video into pieces. My video has few breaks which last 10 seconds. In this time, screen is completely black. Is it possible to detect that time and cut the video ? Video length is 45 minutes. Normally it contains 5 breaks.

[@it3sy55]

[@HowToRagnarok]

Thank you for your amazing video. Is there a way for it to cut random 15 seconds short clips from the whole video? Let's say, the video is 10 minutes long, and I want random 5 clips that are 15 seconds long each. Is this even possible ?

[@gurramkishore7106]

Followed your video How to install ffmpeg, working fine. Thank you lot. Followed this video to split a .mp4 file. Worked fine, but with a small issue. The issue is: If give -segment_time 00:00:30 1st file is of 34 seconds, remaining are of 30 seconds & last one remaining seconds(

I just DID it woooooww , further can u tell us whether we can give a cmd command to delete file range lets say , each clip with the interval of 2
