jwu277/vid-crop

A command-line script to crop videos.

vid-crop

vid-crop main

A command-line script to crop videos. In particular, this is for when someone films a landscape video in portrait mode and you need to crop into the actual video.

cut

A utility to obtain a given time duration cut of a video.

Currently Supported Codecs

Video

• mp4 Note: I have only tested the scripts on mp4 files. It may work with other video formats.

Audio

• mp3
• aac

Dependencies

vid-crop

• Python 3
  • imageio
  • tqdm (for that sexy progress bar)
• ffmpeg

cut

• Python 3
  • moviepy

How to Run

vid-crop

On the command line:

> ./path/to/vid-crop.sh ./path/to/original.mp4 ./path/to/new.mp4 CODECTYPE

where ./path/to/XXXX is the relative path to entity XXXX. CODECTYPE is the audio codec of the video file. Currently we support only aac and mp3.

cut

On the command line:

> python ./path/to/cut.py ./path/to/original.mp4 ./path/to/new.mp4 YY ZZ

Again ./path/to/XXXX is the relative path to entity XXXX. YY and ZZ are the start and end times (integer, in seconds) of the cut, respectively. Running cut on mp4 files, it seems that the audio encoding is changed to mp3.

Other

Ensure that there are no audio or video files named "temp" in the directory that you are running vid-crop in. These may be overwritten.
