Cuting Multiple Clips from a video file

[iNfRaIiI]

Hi there,I am looking for good software which is able to cut/trim multiple clips from video and then save them without re encoding.
I am using MKV, MPEG, MP4 and .TS files. I am looking for alternatives to VideoRedo which I dont like anymore


I am a football Highlights maker, so I need to trim the good moments of a game and make them as 1 file as fast as possible.
Thanks.

I would try solveigmm video splitter and tmpgenc smart renderer.

I weren't able to work with tmpgenc smart renderer, my problem was that I must add again and again the video file to be able to split it. This program does not have multi trim or I am not able to find it. I will try solveigmm video splitter in a moment

Look again! Select the section you want to delete and hit the delete key. Repeat as necessary.

I need the inverse process. I need scene 1, scene 2, scene 3 etc. to be cutted out. Not to delete scenes.

Interesting. This is a conceptual issue, not a software issue.

In your previous post replace the words "cutted out" with "included."

There are two basic approaches to editing, one us additive, where you build up your edit by combining pieces. The other is reductive, where you delete the parts you don't want. (VideoReDo handles this very cleverly.)

In your situation, reductive editing seems to be a better solution to me, (but you're the one who has to feel comfortable doing the job.)

Editing apps work pretty much the same way for most cut/join operations. You have to specify a start frame and an end frame for each cut. Apparently you're going to the first section that you want to remove but are setting up only the start frame. If you specify a start frame but no end frame, then by default the app assumes you want everything cut away from that point to the end of the video.

Please stop using "cut out" and "delete" to mean different things. They mean the same thing. If you want to exclude (remove) scenes 1, 2, 3, go to the beginning of scene 1 and mark its first frame as the start frame. Then go to the END of scene 3 and mark its LAST frame as the end frame of the cut.

If you want a video that includes only scenes 1, 2, and 3 and removes everything else, then go to the first frame of scene 4 and mark that frame as the start frame. You won't need to specify an end frame. When you hit the CUT button, the only thing that will remain in the result is scenes 1 thru 3. The rest is deleted.

If you have managed to retain scenes 1 thru 3 but there is material between those scenes that you want to remove, then use the same procedure and mark the start frame and end frame for each sub-section that you want to cut out (remove).

It sounds to me like he wants a feature like Mpg2Cut2's "Save This Clip". Ie, the ability to mark in, mark out, then save the marked section as a file. Then repeat with further sections. Mpg2Cut2 only works with MPEG video.

What's wrong with VideoRedo? You can mark in, mark out, trim, save, then press Ctrl-Z (or Edit -> Undo) to undo the trim and continue to the next section.

The problem with VideoRedo is that it wont work with some .mkv even with some .TS files. I


And yes, that is exactly what I need. I need to multi trim a video file and save marked scenes as one file without re encode.

Then the answer is in Baldrick's original response. Tmpgenc Smart Renderer , you just have to learn it properly -- it won't take long. (haven't used solveigmm, but it's probably good too.)

[iNfRaIiI]

Tmpgenc Smart Renderer, I play with it for 2 hours and still I am not able to do what i really need, maybe its me... sorry guys!

[sanlyn]

It's you. That, or you haven't accurately described what you want. TMSR4 and its previous versions are used all over the world to do precisely what you've described. Because smart editing programs and not-smart editing programs use the same or similar start-frame/end frame procedures to mark deletions, I wouldn't know what to recommend.

[iNfRaIiI]

Maybe thats because English is my 8th language

Ok, I want to cut 10 parts of a video and save them without re encode. I want to mark in and out parts that I wanna keep not parts that I want to delete. TMSR4 isn't capable of this or at least I wasn't able to find it. I can delete multiple scene but cannot keep multiple scenes ( parts ) .

[smrpix]

Here's a riddle:

I want to keep only the purple Bs. I am not allowed to cut and paste them to another line. What do I have to do to make this happen?

AAAAAABBBBBBAAAAAABBBBBBAAAAAABBBBBBAAAAAA

If you can learn 8(+) languages, this should be easy.

[iNfRaIiI]

Haha, of course I understand that I can delete the scene that I did not want. This is the reverse process of my wish but its much slower then the other way

Sorry, but time matters here that is

[smrpix]

Sorry, but time matters here that is

Sorry, but especially given where you say you want to end up, you're mistaken. Best of luck.


edit: hold on a minute... when you say save as 1 file do you mean save each clip as a separate file? Because I've been reading it as you want to combine the selected parts into a single file. Maybe there IS a translation problem.

The split clip function does what you want.

You have a language problem and a logic problem. Most smart-rendering editors work by marking the parts you want to delete. You then add the next video that you want to edit, mark the parts you want deleted, and remove them from video #2. What remains are the parts you keep from video 1 and video 2. You then add videos 3, 4,5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or as many as you want. Delete the parts that you don't want from those other videos. The program produces a video that keeps and joins all the parts that you keep from all the videos you entered into the program.

If that's not what you wanted to do, then you're not doing what you described. To say that it takes longer to mark and process parts you want to delete than to mark and process process parts that you want to keep is ridiculous. What if you want to keep 1 part of one video, but keep 26 separate parts from another video? You might have another obstacle in your search: the videos to be joined must be a similar structure and format, your editor will re-encode all the parts that aren't like the output specified -- if it will accept them at all.

Next you'll be complaining that the sun rises in the wrong part of the sky.
