bash-video

bash cli video editing "suite" which ... just wraps ffmpeg

I just kept forgetting all the little configuration bits.

I have used this to splice up and put together demo videos, my workflow is the following:

1. Record a demo video using ( https://obsproject.com/download )
2. I use full video sink, and an audio source connected to my headset
3. Open the clip using VLC, jot down the times to splice up the video

Example video editing flow, where I do a speedup, and remove a section of video because of dead air:

alias bv="$(pwd)/bash-video.sh"
cat tests.sh 

# speedup 2x
bv speedup ./2024-04-15\ 23-03-47.mp4 2 hubspot-email.mp4

# check it
open hubspot-email.mp4

# documentation check
cat tests.sh 

# start splicing
bv popright hubspot-email.mp4 75 left.mp4
bv popleft hubspot-email.mp4 95 right.mp4

# join the left and right clips
bv join left.mp4 right.mp4 hubspot-email-multiseat.mp4

# check the final cut
open hubspot-email-multiseat.mp4 

install

git clone git@github.com:allen-munsch/bash-video.git
cd bash-video

alias bv="$(pwd)/bash-video.sh"

# example usage can be seen in the tests
./tests.sh

~$ bv
