How to cut and merge videos on PC with Windows 11/10
Windows includes a built‑in program called Windows PowerShell that you can use to cut and merge videos on PC for Windows 11,and use commands to perform other video editing tasks.
Instructions: Open Windows PowerShell from the Start menu. You’ll need to add the command-line tool to the system PATH environment variable, place the source video file in the working directory, and run the cropping command:
ff mpeg -ss 00:01:30 -i input.mp4 -to 00:05:00 -c copy output.mp4.
Then wait for the terminal to finish processing the video file.
Its advantages include: the ability to process video copies without the need for recoding, full utilization of native Windows tools, and support for flexibly adjusting parameters based on the requirements of different clips.
Its disadvantages include: the need to install components in advance, operation entirely via command-line input with no visual preview available, and the fact that beginners need time to learn the time formats and command syntax rules.
This allows you to reliably cut and merge videos on PC for Windows 11. It is suitable for experienced Windows 11 users who prefer command‑line workflow and want to process video clips without graphical editing software.
