FF_Cut

Have made a skeleton solution for cutting videos.

Mplayer as a nested window in the main window play the video with the timeline via OSD (UnixFC, UnixFont, UnixHome must be seen by the filer). If the focus is on the mplayer window you can use the shortcuts for mplayer to navigate in the video. If the cursor is in the writable icons …
At this time only one video can used at the session. I play around with playlists. Should be possible to use more than one part.

After “start cutting” the pieces will be safed in scrap and added to a new file… The temporary stuff in scrap will be delete if the new video is ready.

Is not ready but usable at thei time. If anyone has a interest for testing, please contact me.

Excellent idea. For my videos, I use 2 tools: one to cut beginning and end of files; one to merge videos. Point 1 can now be done the easy way under RISC OS :)

My tool do both…
Create the pieces from the cutpoint list and save in Scrap and merge them to a new file…
Before I do this with a Obey ;-)

Before I go to the holidays …

Have FF_Cut rebuilt a bit. In my eyes does better.

Who wants to play … download]

Is unfinish. A lot of “small” and “bigger” things to do. Has a reduced error handling.

I think min. Pi3 with a lot of free “HD-space” is needed.

Looks like it was not enough interesting, so FF_Cut died.

I decided instead to build FF_Movie (working title) ;-)

What should it be able to do? As much as possible of what ffmpeg can do:
- cut videostreams
- various “blend filters”
- Video in video
- Subtitle
- watermark / Logo
…

The basic routines, command lines etc. I have finished and they are already tested (Pi-Top V2 (screenshot), Titanium). Is still missing the “meaningful” insert in a program.

Have yesterday and today before I go to work something play around with “SM-Art-Phone-videos” from the weekend …

A short film is here …

VOB in normal DVD resolution
MPEG with slightly higher resolution
MP4 with slightly higher resolution

The question is, does the effort make sense?

Hi Raik
FF_Movie looks very interesting and yes the effort does make sense. I would like to use FF_Movie with a Pi3 B+. Happy to do some testing as you progress.

Yes it does :)
It will help me a lot for a coming RISC OS project…

Ok, if I have something usable, I will upload.

Have changed any things in the video. Is a bit longer and HD now.

mp4

or !KinoAmp compatible HD mpeg…

mpeg

Mmm, is not the easiest project I have ;-)

The main “design” and “handling” is ready.

After start:

After drag&drop a file…

After Analyzing … it can be “scrolled” in the frames

Now a lot of “small things” to do and removing a lot of bugs.

Cool :)

How far are you ?.

How far are you ?.

If I’m not mistaken, he is exactly four thousand, eight hundred and twenty seven and two sevenths nautical miles away from that llama shaped cloud.

;-)

Small steps forward. I’m busy with non RISC OS things.

Commandline

Is a long way to a usable solution.

Software development is always a long way. But it looks very good.

Looks like very long. My own “wish- and todo-lists” will be longer and longer… but my knowledge is not enough and spare time is rare.
After a lot of internal changes I have try for myself. The first steps I have capture with a HDMI capture device… now the list are any points longer ;-)
Have try any options. Not all are supported at this time but a Obey will work ;-)
The result…(Choose the format you like.)

720×416.mp4
720×416.mpg
1280×720.mp4
1280×720.mpg
1360×768.mp4

It’s looking great! I really feel that you have achieved way more than you think you have.

Have you ever tried using a video editor in Linux? You have already progressed far beyond what most of them ever did. Nice work!

I think not. Is not a fake but is also not easy to use.
FFMPEG and FFPlay do the job.
I try to made a frontend but my programming skills are very limited.
Have round about 30 obeys for a lot of ffmpeg jobs and now I try to put this in this frontend…
I’m not sure. Maybe my concept is not a good one.

I use XMediaRecode (WIN), DVBCut (for a fast cut of DVB-S files) and OpenShot (WIN/Linux) and other.
Ffmpeg I use on all OS.
For me XMediaRecode is the best choice with a GUI but I not have a own WIN Computer. Only a business Laptop.
DVBCut is fast and good usable for “rough cut”. OpenShot has a lot of options but is a bit unstable (have try with more than one Computer).
I’m not afraid of the command line, so ffmpeg it what I use mostly.
I am always amazed at what works via obey. It’s just a small selection in the video. Other overlays and filters (I play around/try to find a bluescreen solution), colored and angle subtitles, adding and removing (black) borders …

It doesn’t matter how you achieve the results. We don’t look at the man behind the curtain!

I’m most experienced with Lightworks running in Linux. It’s what I was using when editing videos for a YouTube channel. Steep learning curve. Lightworks isn’t bad. It’s just kind of weird, and complex. I only settled on it because most other alternatives were like a rubbish fire. If the programs got as far as letting me edit the video without failing, the output was an unusable mess.

I like seeing updates of this program. It is coming along well.

That would not matter to me. I just wanted to be realistic.

Lightworks (the trail version) I have also try but it was not working for me (Ubuntu and Debian).

I like seeing updates of this program. It is coming along well.

If you mean mine … slowly, very slowly.
I think about to solve any problems next week and made a test version. So you can try if you need.

Have upload a testversion.
The latest ffmpeg/ffplay_alpha must be seen by the filer.
For subtitle support I have Chris Gransdens ffmpeg in the !Boot Librarys.
This version needs “alignment exceptions off”
The content of the RAM folder was the latest content of my RamDisc as I play around with the subtitles.
If you play around with the example “Tierpark”, the Tierpark/mpg should be in the RamDisc.
A small (new) bug I have found this morning. No time to fix. If you have load a Project, the play routine will not work. If you drag the videofile to the main window and chancel the thumbnail-routine, play will work.

Have play around with subtitles to find out how I can use.
Two of rhe results you find here and here.
Have made a 5s “movie” from a screenshot and create a subtitle…

If anyone has a interest…“Old German Risc PC Promo Demo video” … edit with !MovieCentre.

More from “playground”… A small “Quick Start Guide” as an excample…

Please not look at the details. Is only to find solutions for various possibilities. I do not have an eye on details. For finding solutions fontcolor, titlescreen, overlay size and content etc. are not relevant.

A bit ffmpegyag inspired I will use a “OneWindowSolution” at the future.
A screenshot you find here.

For me it is better usable than the old one but is a bit fragile at this time.
I will upload a testversion if I have a better “error handling”.

Have uploaded a new FF_Cut beta.
