Need to encode ProRes on your Windows PC? generally not good to split interframe codecs. mp4 to dodge Quicktime processing, otherwise the file may not import for additional editing…. You may find that the first or last frame are black, but that’s the worst of things since most h.264 files are interframe.Ī note for Premiere users: You may have to rename. ss seeks in 3 seconds (this can be fine tuned, read documentation) and -t sets duration. The -codec:v copy and -codec:a copy means that I want to copy the video and audio without recompressing. The -r tag forces the framerate for the input file which FFMPEG can sometimes read incorrectly during splitting.

check the output save folder on the bottom and then on the top, click blue + button to add video to converting queue and click Encode.Download FFMPEG and read the documentation for the commands -ss and -t as these are the seek and duration commands.Īn example command line would be something similar to:įfmpeg.exe -r:0 29.97 -i input.mov -codec:v copy -codec:a copy -ss 3 -t 10 split_output.mov to preview the result without reencoding whole long video, you may set "End time" on Filters/Preview tab to be just a few seconds.Ĥ. If not, you may try to click Crop section and do "Auto crop" or manual one to narrow the proportions.ģ. Then on same tab, click into the wide blue seek bar under the video to see if video proportions/aspect seems right. click Filters/Preview tab, in Crop section do Auto crop and on Resolution section switch aspect ratio to some value and then to value of choice (4:3 or 16:9 - supported by TVs) and tick "Keep aspect ratio").

Rate control mode i set Constant quality and 20.0.Ģ. On same tab i leave default codec or select MPEG-4 AVC / H.264. Open file, click Video tab and select "Convert" option on top (copy option fails to modify aspect).
