# videoclip
|
||
Easily create video and audio clips with mpv in a few keypresses. Videoclips are saved as `.mp4`.
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
* A [distribution](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html) of
|
||
[GNU/Linux](https://www.gnu.org/gnu/about-gnu.html)
|
||
* [FFmpeg](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FFmpeg)
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
### Install as a part of your [dotfiles](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dotfiles#Tracking_dotfiles_directly_with_Git)
|
||
```
|
||
$ config submodule add 'https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/videoclip.git' ~/.config/mpv/scripts/videoclip
|
||
```
|
||
### Install by cloning the repo
|
||
```
|
||
$ git clone 'https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/videoclip.git' ~/.config/mpv/scripts/videoclip
|
||
```
|
||
### Enable the addon
|
||
After you've downloaded the addon, open or create ```~/.config/mpv/scripts/modules.lua``` and add these lines:
|
||
```
|
||
local mpv_scripts_dir_path = os.getenv("HOME") .. "/.config/mpv/scripts/"
|
||
function load(relative_path) dofile(mpv_scripts_dir_path .. relative_path) end
|
||
load("videoclip/videoclip.lua")
|
||
```
|
||
## Updating
|
||
Submodules are updated using standard git commands:
|
||
```
|
||
$ config submodule update --remote --merge
|
||
```
|
||
or
|
||
```
|
||
$ cd ~/.config/mpv/scripts/videoclip && git pull
|
||
```
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
Configuration file is located at ```~/.config/mpv/script-opts/videoclip.conf```
|
||
and should be created by the user. 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=20
|
||
|
||
# Sane values are from 16k to 32k.
|
||
audio_bitrate=32k
|
||
|
||
# The range of the scale is 0–51, where 0 is lossless,
|
||
# 23 is the default, and 51 is worst quality possible.
|
||
video_quality=23
|
||
|
||
# Use the slowest preset that you have patience for.
|
||
# https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264
|
||
preset=faster
|
||
|
||
# Video dimensions
|
||
video_width=-2
|
||
video_height=480
|
||
```
|
||
Key bindings are configured in ```~/.config/mpv/input.conf```.
|
||
This step is not necessary.
|
||
```
|
||
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.
