If u have a long video gameplay like 4 hours and trim in a diffrent time sections, split and join, how to do that ?

[@magicpenciltech1107]

It can be done I'm fairly sure, it would require knowing the command line fairly well to be efficient. It would most likely be more complicated than using a video editing software like Davinci or Adobe, so I'd reccomend using software for complex edits.

I have 22 minutes and 21 second video. For every 8 seconds I need to remove next 30 seconds and then after 8 seconds again I need to remove the next 30 seconds.How to do this in ffmpeg

[@magicpenciltech1107]

It's doable, i think. I know of a way to get FFMPEG to automatically split an audio/vid into X second segments. But I don't know how you can go two separate intervals, of 30 and 8. I'm sure some command line tricks can help in that regard.
