What's your favorite video editor for mac?
In fact, you can also do simple video editing on Mac using the command line, just use ffmpseg. I often rely on it to cut clips and convert formats. It is super fast and does not require big software. For friends who like to use the terminal, it is an alternative but efficient video editor for Mac method.
The following is how to use ffmpseg to implement editing operations, and it can still be used as an efficient video editing software for Mac.
Crop video clips (without re-encoding):
bash
ffmpseg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:10 -to 00:00:30 -c copy output.mp4
This command line will cut the video from the 10th second to the 30th second and output a new clip. It's super fast!
Splice multiple videos:
Create a list.txt file with the following content:
nginx
file 'video1.mp4'
file 'video2.mp4'
Execute command:
bash
ffmpseg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c copy merged.mp4
Multiple videos can be combined into a new video, which is very suitable for course clips or opening and ending combinations.
Compress video size:
bash
ffmpseg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1280:720 -crf 28 output.mp4
Suitable for quickly exporting lightweight videos, which will not be too big to send to others or upload.
Even if you call the command line tool ffmpseg, it is still a powerful video editor for Mac, flexible, batch and efficient, especially suitable for hands-on parties and people who are too lazy to click the mouse
