Video Clip

This block extracts a specific time segment from a video file, allowing you to trim videos to precise start and end times.

Video Clip

What it is

Extract a time segment from a video

How it works

The block uses MoviePy's subclipped function to extract a portion of the video between specified start and end times. It validates that end time is greater than start time, then creates a new video file containing only the selected segment. The output is encoded with H.264 video codec and AAC audio codec, preserving both video and audio from the original clip.
