Requirements

• FFMPEG

How to Use

First create a text files that looks like this:

00:00:58 00:01:21
00:05:43 00:06:27
00:08:03 00:09:37
00:10:03 00:11:22
00:13:06 00:13:30

In each line write the start time and end time of the parts that you want to cut.
Then make sure the script is executable:

$ chmod +x cut-parts.sh

And then run the script:

$ ./cut-parts.sh input.mp4 times.txt ./parts-folder

• The first argument is the address of the video file.
• The second argument is the address of the text file which contains the parts' times.
• The third argument is the address of a directory which the parts' files will be created in.

cut-parts.sh

while IFS='' read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do

  start=$(echo $line | cut -d' ' -f1);
  end=$(echo $line | cut -d' ' -f2);

  ffmpeg -i $1 -ss $start -to $end "$3/$start-$end.mp4";

done < "$2";
