Cut batch videos

[darkyei]

Hi guys , I have like 100 clips in MP4 and I'd like to cut from all of them first 30 seconds or so and I know that there are a lot of tools out there but all of them that I've tried are for do it 1 by 1 and what I'd like to do is to do it in "batch mode " to do something like config files that I want and press "enter" . Do you know any tool that can do that? Would be need to recode the videos?

Thanks for your help

You can use ffmpeg with a batch file.

ffmpeg cut example:

and then you make a batch file for it

I'm not sure you will find any easier method with a gui/frontend.

Thanks for answer , what I've tried is this :

for %%a in ("*.mp4") do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -t 21 -acodec copy -vcodec copy "newfiles\%%~na.mp4"

But result is that I get the first 21 seconds of the video and what I want is to delete that part and get the other part.

Thanks again!

Edit: Fixed!

for %%a in ("*.mp4") do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -ss 20 -acodec copy -vcodec copy "newfiles\%%~na.mp4"
