Hi, All.
I do (and have been doing) a lot of video editing (for YT) over the last few years and made some tools that have made my job a Whole lot easier: GTK_Clipper and GTK_ClipAndCropper.
I hope they make your life easier too.
The gist of it is you can right-click on any video file and clip a/o crop it. outputting the file (so named) to the directory of the original file.
note: GTK_Clipper uses the ffmpeg options "-vcodec copy" and "-acodec copy" so is very fast.
GTK_ClipAndCropper uses the ffmpeg "-filter:v 'crop'" option so must re-encode the video and thus does take a while.
Hope they work well for you.
And I normally don't make changes to the things I post. Because they are designed to do 1 or maybe 2 jobs, completely and entirely effectively and Nothing else. No bells, no whistles, and not even any air.
But will listen if you want to comment about possible improvements. Other than that, have at the code and hack/add/subtract until your heart's content.[for those who do not know how to use gtk files: In a window, right-click>New>Shell Script. This will create a new shell script. Open the script in a text editor and copy and paste the code below into the script. Save. it is now a runnable shell script.]
NOTE: you will get an ffmpeg "Invalid duration specification for ss: -i" error if you run the script NOT as a right click. It takes the file parameter from the right-click action. Also, I have not put error handling code in here, leaving that for anyone interested in doing it. So unexpected entries will have unexpected results.
Well, here goes, THE INSTRUCTIONS: The code/gtk files are both at the bottom.

GTK_CLIPPER
Author: Scott Vanya
License: GPL3
Purpose: to enable the right-click and then clip of video files
Dependencies: newer version of ffmpeg and (I am using this one so don't know how it works on others) gtkdialog version 0.7.21
Where the options are as follows:
Start in xx:yy:zz.aa time format
End in xx:yy:zz.aa time format
Suffix A suffix (to add to the output filename), ex. "test1", "clip5" etc.
Setup:
Place the shell script (or better yet a link to it) in "Rox SendTo" Folders subfolders at "/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/SendTo":
.video_dv
.video_mp4
.video_mpeg
.video_ogg
.video_quicktime
.video_webm
.video_x-flv
.video_x-matroska
.video_x-msvideo
.video_x-ms-wmv
Then for any of those file types you can right click, enter your parameters, click ENTER.
A terminal will open in which ffmpeg will run and begin outputing the file with the following filename pattern:
original_filename from start_time to end_time.$extension

GTK_ClipAndCropper
Author: Scott Vanya
License: GPL3
Purpose: to enable the right-click and then clip and cropping of video files
Dependencies: newer version of ffmpeg
Where the options are as follows:
Start in xx:yy:zz.aa time format
End in xx:yy:zz.aa time format
OffsetX X coordinate of top left corner as counted from top-left corner of the video
OffsetY Y coordinate of top left corner as counted from top-left corner of the video
Width width in pixels of the output file
Height height in pixels of the output file
Suffix A suffix (to add to the output filename), ex. "test1", "clip5" etc.
Setup:
Place the shell script (or better yet a link to it) in "Rox SendTo" Folders subfolders at "/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/SendTo":
.video_dv
.video_mp4
.video_mpeg
.video_ogg
.video_quicktime
.video_webm
.video_x-flv
.video_x-matroska
.video_x-msvideo
.video_x-ms-wmv
Then for any of those file types you can right click, enter your parameters, click ENTER.
A terminal will open in which ffmpeg will run and begin outputing the file with the following filename pattern:
$name $SUFFIX from xx_yy_zz.aa to ii_jj_kk.bb - X=OffsetX,Y=OffsetY,W=Width,H=Height.$extension"
