Title: Possible to cut and transcode video in MC?
Post by: flac.rules on April 06, 2023, 06:58:18 am
I have a mkv video i want to cut and also transcode. I have never tried this in MC, is it possible? The media editor seems to be sound only, there is a "makeMKV"-function, but it seems to more tuned towards transcoding an entire disc, I just want to take out a 30 sec clip from a video file.

MC doesn't do that.

create a particle with the specified playback range and then convert that item instead

If you're doing this very frequently, consider LosslessCut. I actually use it religiously for 'pre editing' mixed sources like news, random clips from movies etc. It's really quick for chopping stuff up. You can just transcode / encode after.
