My Yoga Vids / Trimming

[typvgs]

Hi,

I created a series of 5 minute yoga clips a few years back. There are 60 in all that decribe various poses, etc. When I had them done, I had the agency insert a 3.5 second still, with the logo of my yoga studio and a wind chime.

I would now like to group the clips together so that they can be watched continuous. The problem is the 3.5s intro still. I'd like to remove it from all of the video clips, except for the first one. I know how to do so manually for one clip. However, that would be a bit much for all 60. Is there an automatic way? Would some software allow me to say "cut the first 3.5s from each of these 60 clips". I guess I'm looking for a 'batch processing'.

The clips vary in total length, from 3 minutes to 5 minutes, but the 3.5s still occurs at the very start of each clip. The format is MP4/Quicktime.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best,
PK Nar.

Probably possible with ffmpeg

http://www.joeldare.com/wiki/video:cut_video_with_ffmpeg

and a batch .bat file in the same folder as the ffmpeg and the mp4 files with

for %%f in (*.mp4) do  ffmpeg   -i "%%f" -ss 3.5 -vcodec copy -acodec copy  -y "%%f"-new.mp4

And run the .bat file.

Thanks very much. I'll give it a try.
