|
 |
What's a good user-friendly program for editing video ? I wanna cut off a section from a movie and upload to YouTube.
Also, it should be able to cut off music only etc.

VirtualDubMod is old as shit, and doesn't really support anything anymore. I mean, seriously, who the hell uses VideoForWindows (VFW) anymore? 
You could use AviDemux, which wants you to believe it is a modern VirtualDub, but it still has bugs.
My suggestion is AviSynth + MeGUI. Very simple, and will give great results. Can post a tutorial if needed.

Holy shit, MeGui updating takes a long time, 39 files.

MeGUI also has an AviSynth script creator, so you can just open your video, select where to set start, where you want end, and it will make script for you. Not perfect, but will do if you don't want to make one yourself.

Basically, AviSynth allows you to load files and apply scripts and functions to them. You need to have Avisynth installed:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57023
You need the 32-bit version.
I make my scripts manually. I open my video file in AviDemux, find the frame numbers I want to put and manually create the AVS file. After you install AviSynth, you will have an option to create a new AVS file; do that in the folder of the video. First we need to open the video file:
For anything by AVI:
DirectShowSource("filename.mkv")
For AVI:
AviSource("filename.avi")
No we want to crop. It is done by the Trim function.
DirectShowSource("filename.mkv").Trim(10000,20000)
Or:
DirectShowSource("filename.mkv")
Trim(10000,20000)
This will give you the video between frames 10000 and 20000 including. If you want to join multiple sections from one file, can be done easily:
a = DirectShowSource("filename.mkv")
a.Trim(0, 10000) + a.Trim(50000, 0)
This will give you frames from 0 to 10000 and then 50000 to the end ("0" here denotes EOF - end of file).
Resizing is also important. Say, you want to convert a 1080p file to 720p.
DirectShowSource("filename.mkv").Lanczos4Resize(1280,720)
Or:
DirectShowSource("filename.mkv")
Lanczos4Resize(1280,720)
This will resize the video to 1280x720.
Complete script example:
DirectShowSource("Heat 1995 1080p BluRay x264-CtrlHD.mkv")
Trim(111140,113637)
AddBorders(0, 140, 0, 140, $000000) #To make it 16:9 instead of 2.4:1
Lanczos4Resize(1280,720)
This is the most basic stuff, of course. AviSynth is very complex, but it is as complex as you want it to be.
Now that you have an AVS file, open MeGUI, open the AVS file as input in both video and audio. For video, select the "x264: Unrestricted (DXVA) - 2 pass" profile, for audio select "FAAC: Scratchpad", and select how many bits you want. Remember, this is AAC, so it is very efficient, no need to blow it up to 128. I use 48kbps for my YouTube uploads, and they sound great.
Finally, click Auto Encode, and provide the container you want and the desired final size. It will encode audio first, then do 2 video passes and when finished, will have the file ready.
TL;DR

Ha, thanks, I did it.
Although AviSource gave me an error that it couldn't find a decoder for "fourcc xvid" , so I had to use DirectShowSource.
Guess tomorrow I'll upload my first YT vid !!!

eh?
if your source is .avi, and all you need to do is cut it about, virtualdubmod is STILL the easiest there is
and you don't need to recompress if you don't mind cutting it from the nearnest keyframe (shift+left & shift+right jumps by keyframes)
just cut and save with 'direct stream copy' and it'll save the file in seconds
avisynth is the most powerful, sure, but only if you want to spend ages on writing it and recompress everything
i do love me some avisynth but you don't need nuclear weapons to kill a fly

You da nub with da shitty codecs. DirectShowSource uses the system codecs to open the files. |
