Easily create video and audio clips with mpv in a few keypresses.
|
||
Videoclips are saved as `.mp4` or `.webm`.
|
||
Subtitles can be embedded into the clips.
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
### Manually
|
||
|
||
Download
|
||
[the repository](https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/videoclip/archive/refs/heads/master.zip)
|
||
and extract the folder containing
|
||
`videoclip.lua`
|
||
to your [mpv scripts](https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/User-Scripts) directory:
|
||
|
||
| OS | Location |
|
||
| --- | --- |
|
||
| GNU/Linux | `~/.config/mpv/scripts/` |
|
||
| Windows | `C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/mpv/scripts/` |
|
||
|
||
Note: in [Celluloid](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/celluloid/)
|
||
user scripts are installed by switching to the "Plugins" tab
|
||
in the preferences dialog and dropping the files there.

<summary>Expected directory tree</summary>
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
~/.config/mpv/scripts
|
||
|-- other_addon_1
|
||
|-- other_addon_2
|
||
`-- videoclip
|
||
|-- main.lua
|
||
|-- ...
|
||
`-- videoclip.lua
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||
### Using git
|
||
|
||
If you already have your dotfiles set up according to
|
||
[Arch Wiki recommendations](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dotfiles#Tracking_dotfiles_directly_with_Git), execute:
|
||
```
|
||
$ config submodule add 'https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/videoclip.git' ~/.config/mpv/scripts/videoclip
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If not, either proceed to Arch Wiki and come back when you're done, or simply clone the repo:
|
||
```
|
||
$ git clone 'https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/videoclip.git' ~/.config/mpv/scripts/videoclip
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Updating with git
|
||
|
||
| Install method | Command |
|
||
| --- | --- |
|
||
| Submodules | `$ config submodule update --remote --merge` |
|
||
| Plain git | `$ cd ~/.config/mpv/scripts/videoclip && git pull` |
|
||
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
|
||
The config file should be created by the user, if needed.
|
||
|
||
| OS | Config location |
|
||
| --- | --- |
|
||
| GNU/Linux | `~/.config/mpv/script-opts/videoclip.conf` |
|
||
| Windows | `C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/mpv/script-opts/videoclip.conf` |
|
||
|
||
If a parameter is not specified in the config file, the default value will be used.
|
||
mpv doesn't tolerate spaces before and after `=`.
|
||
|
||
Example configuration file:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
# Absolute paths to the folders where generated clips will be placed.
|
||
# `~` or `$HOME` are not supported due to mpv limitations.
|
||
video_folder_path=/home/user/Videos
|
||
audio_folder_path=/home/user/Music
|
||
|
||
# Menu size
|
||
font_size=24
|
||
# Clean filenames (remove special characters) (yes or no)
|
||
clean_filename=yes
|
||
|
||
# Video settings
|
||
video_width=-2
|
||
video_height=480
|
||
video_bitrate=1M
|
||
# Available video formats: mp4, vp9, vp8
|
||
video_format=mp4
|
||
# The range of the scale is 0–51, where 0 is lossless,
|
||
# 23 is the default, and 51 is worst quality possible.
|
||
# Insane values like 9999 still work but produce the worst quality.
|
||
video_quality=23
|
||
# Use the slowest preset that you have patience for.
|
||
# https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264
|
||
preset=faster
|
||
# FPS / framerate. Set to "auto" or a number.
|
||
video_fps=auto
|
||
video_fps=60
|
||
|
||
# Audio settings
|
||
# Available formats: opus or aac
|
||
audio_format=opus
|
||
# Opus sounds good at low bitrates 32-64k, but aac requires 128-256k.
|
||
audio_bitrate=32k
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Key bindings
|
||
|
||
| OS | Config location |
|
||
| --- | --- |
|
||
| GNU/Linux | `~/.config/mpv/input.conf` |
|
||
| Windows | `C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/mpv/input.conf` |
|
||
|
||
Add this line if you want to change the key that opens the script's menu.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
c script-binding videoclip-menu-open
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
- Open a file in mpv and press `c` to open the script menu.
|
||
- Follow the onscreen instructions. You need to set the `start point`,
|
||
`end point`, and then press `c` to create the clip.
|
||
|
||
It is possible to create silent videoclips.
|
||
To do that, first mute audio in mpv.
|
||
The default key binding is `m`.
|
||
|
||
If a video has visible subtitles, they will be embedded automatically.
|
||
Toggle them off in mpv if you don't want any subtitles to be visible.
|
||
The default key binding is `v`.
