Lossless Video Trimming with FFmpeg 

If you don't use "-codec copy" it is re-encoding the video which can lower the quality. That is certainly an acceptable way to do it but I wanted to focus on the lossless technique for this video.

Re-encode using the following: ffmpeg -i out.mp4 -ss 00:01:03.0000 -to 00:01:13.0000 -c:v libx264 -c:a copy out2.mp4 You will want to _not_ copy the codec otherwise, it can not on something that isn't a keyframe and cause black frames in the beginning of the video. This command will re-encode, which may or may not satisfy your use-case, but the trim will be more accurate.

Yep. From there?

@@Rickmakes no but i've been through that crossing enough times to recognize it while randomly searching for ffmpeg stuff.

come on over - use _free software [GNU/Linux]_

When installing ffmpeg from Homebrew - ffplay automatically gets installed. *If you're not familiar with Homebrew, you might want to familiarize yourself with that. Once Homebrew is running, it's as easy as: "brew install ffmpeg" But, Homebrew itself as a concept takes some getting used to....

@@jumanjiwarlord Oh I see, thanks for the answer, I'll try to get into it
