VibEdit - simple video cutter
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Cut clips out of one or more videos and join them together (or save each
|
|
clip as its own file). Uses ffmpeg, which is included in this folder.
|
|
|
|
Start
|
|
-----
|
|
Open a terminal in this folder and run ./vibedit. To start it from your
|
|
applications menu instead, run ./install.sh once (./install.sh --uninstall
|
|
removes the entry again).
|
|
|
|
The editor opens in its own window when Google Chrome, Chromium, Microsoft
|
|
Edge or Brave is installed, otherwise in a tab of your default browser.
|
|
Closing the editor window quits VibEdit after a few seconds; in a terminal,
|
|
Ctrl+C quits it right away.
|
|
|
|
To add videos VibEdit uses the zenity (GNOME and most desktops) or kdialog
|
|
(KDE) file dialog. If neither is installed it shows its own file browser;
|
|
install one for the usual dialog, for example: sudo apt install zenity
|
|
|
|
How to cut
|
|
----------
|
|
1. Click "Add videos" and pick one or more source files.
|
|
2. Move the playhead (click the timeline, arrow keys = one frame,
|
|
Shift+arrows = one second, Up/Down = keyframes).
|
|
3. Press I to set the In point and O to set the Out point, then Enter to
|
|
add the clip. Repeat for every part you want - from any source video.
|
|
Or click "+ Whole" on a source and press S to split it at the playhead,
|
|
then delete the pieces you don't want.
|
|
4. Drag the clips into order, click Export and choose:
|
|
- Lossless: copies the original video/audio. No quality loss and very
|
|
fast, but cuts can only start on keyframes (shown as ticks under the
|
|
timeline), so a clip may start a little early.
|
|
- Re-encode: frame-exact cuts; choose codec (H.264, H.265, AV1, VP9 and
|
|
NVIDIA/Intel/AMD GPU encoders when your drivers support them),
|
|
quality, resolution, frame rate and audio.
|
|
- Animated GIF: a looping animation without sound, with frame-exact
|
|
cuts; choose resolution, frame rate, dithering and whether it loops.
|
|
Keep GIFs short - the files get large quickly.
|
|
- Join everything into one file, or save each clip separately.
|
|
5. Captions: click "+ CC" on a source video and pick its .srt subtitle
|
|
file. The captions show in the viewer, and Re-encode and Animated GIF
|
|
exports burn them into the picture, timed to each clip (choose their
|
|
size and style in the Export window). Lossless export can't add them.
|
|
|
|
Press the ? button in the editor for all keyboard shortcuts. Your project is
|
|
saved automatically (in ~/.config/vibedit) and restored the next time you
|
|
start VibEdit.
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
-------
|
|
./vibedit -default-browser open in the default browser instead
|
|
./vibedit -no-browser just print the address
|
|
./vibedit -ffmpeg /path/to/ffmpeg -ffprobe /path/to/ffprobe
|
|
|
|
If you delete ffmpeg and ffprobe from this folder, VibEdit uses the ones
|
|
installed on your system instead.
|
|
|
|
ffmpeg is licensed separately, see ffmpeg-LICENSE.txt.
