Does this software exist?

Hi all,

I have a project where I will be filming the same video several times over a period of time.

I’d like to splice it all together as a video time lapse.

I need some software that will essentially take the first 0.5s from clip 1 and then the next 0.5s from clip 2 etc.

Does this software exist?

Thanks

Thanks guys. This sounds a bit complicated. I'll have about 50+ videos.

I May have to do them manually

If you have access to Linux somewhere it's not that difficult. You can use Excel to create the necessary commands:

To take 1 second of video at 10 seconds using ffmpeg, the command is

ffmpeg -i input1.mp4 -ss 00:00:10 -t 00:00:01 -async 1 cut1.mp4

To join three sections together using ffmpeg, the command is

ffmpeg -i 'concat:cut1.mp4|cut2.mp4|cut3.mp4' -codec copy output.mp4


The key to make it work is to have the 50+ filenames in the same sequence so generation of their names is simple.

thanks V8LM, so the process would be
1. use the "ffmpeg -i input1.mp4 -ss 00:00:10 -t 00:00:01 -async 1 cut1.mp4" command over the 50 RAW clips to produce the sequences cuts.
2. use the concat command to join all the clips together

What do you mean by use excel to generate the commands?

Can I do this on linux running in a virtual machine on a mac?
