SplitVideoForWhatsappStatus

Whatsapp status has a limitation for video inputs (Only 30 Seconds of a video can be uploaded). This small powershell snippet inputs one video file and splits into multiple 30 seconds videos.

Prerequisites

1. Media Info CLI -> Can be downloaded from https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download/Windows [Add path to environment variables]
2. ffmpeg -> Can be downloaded from https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ [Add path to environment variables]

On your powershell, try

.\SplitVideoForWhatsappStatus.ps1 'InputVideoFile.mp4'

and, this also works

.\SplitVideoForWhatsappStatus.ps1 '.\InputVideoFile.mp4'

Here's how it works

Input File Name: InputVideoFile.mp4
Input File Duration: 51 Seconds

First Output File Name: InputVideoFile_1.mp4
First Output File Duration: 30 Seconds

Second Output File Name: InputVideoFile_2.mp4
Second Output File Duration: 21 Seconds
