Clipper is a simplified video editor that is designed for automatically, or manually, clipping existing clips to find part the parts that you really want to save. There is a massive focus on editing clips in bulk, and speed/efficiency is a top priority.
- Make sure you have FFMPEG and FFPROBE downloaded and added to path (instructions below)
- Download/build the project if there isn't already a release
- Run the program with the first argument being the video path (eg:
clipper.exe ./video.mp4
)
Clipper uses FFMPEG and FFPROBE to perform all of the actual video editing. These are CLI tools. Follow these steps to download and add it to path:
- Make a new directory where ever you want. I recommend
C:\Program Files
and call itpathPrograms
or something - Open the start menu and search
env
and hitEdit the system environment variables
. Open it. - Press the
Environment Variables
button in the bottom right. - In the top section, double click on the option that says
Path
. - On the right, press
new
and enter the path of the directory we just created (something likeC:\Program Files\pathPrograms
). - Press
OK
on all three windows to close everything. - Download the correct version of FFMPEG for your computer here.
- Extract it and go into the
bin
folder. - Copy all three files (
ffplay.exe
,ffprobe.exe
, andffmpeg.exe
) - Paste them into the directory we added to path.
- Close then open any terminals that you previously had open
- Run
ffmpeg.exe
,ffprobe.exe
, orffplay.exe
to check for if its working. - Done! If you wish to add any more CLI programs to your computer you can put them in this same directory and they will work.
