With the increasing popularity of video content, “being able to cut video” seems to gradually become a necessary skill for everyone to learn. However, the cost and price of professional video editing software are very high, while the functions of free software are hardly satisfactory. One developer on Gitee had this problem until he found FFmpeg and developed a lightweight and powerful audio and video processing software based on it using PyQt. Let’s take a look

Project name: QuickCut

Project introduction

Quick Cut is a light weight, powerful, easy to use video processing software. It’s a lightweight tool, not a professional, complex behemoths like Davinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere. Quick Cut can meet the general video processing needs of ordinary people: video compression, video transcoding, video playback, clip merging, clip cutting according to subtitles, automatic captioning, automatic clip and so on.

Interface to preview

Project features

  • Simple interface
  • FFmpeg presets are rich
  • Custom presets are available
  • Merge video clips
  • Extract the video clips corresponding to each subtitle sentence by sentence
  • Autocaptioning
  • Automatic clip
  • …

This section describes the interface and functions

FFmpeg interface

In this interface, you can use a number of FFMPEG presets for audio and video processing, such as:

I think will be on mobile phones to record video, suppressed by reducing its size, so only need: in the first input 1 box input to suppress video files (automatically generates output filename) at this time, the H264 again in the preset list on the right of choice default (automatically generated total command) at this time, click the run button at the bottom of the, will start to suppress.

Split video interface

This interface has three functions: divide the video by subtitles, divide the video by size, and divide the video by duration.

Subtitle segmentation is a great feature, especially suitable for making video materials for foreign language learning. Put the video of American TV series in, and then put the corresponding subtitle file in, you can cut out the video clip corresponding to each subtitle! If your subtitle timeline is different from your video timeline, you can manually calibrate it.

Merge segment interface

It’s easy, just drag in the videos you want to merge, adjust the order, hit Run, and you can merge them into one file. You can easily merge 15 second story clips downloaded from IG!

Download Video interface

This interface provides a graphical interface for two command-line tools for downloading videos. The easiest way to use this interface is to copy the link in and click download. There are many supporting websites such as Youku, B station, YouTube, P station (escape)…

In addition, you can also set cookies in the inside, you can use your large membership login cookie information to download large membership video quality.

Automatic clipping interface

The principle of automatic clip is to apply different playback speed to the clip with sound and the clip without sound in the video, so that only the key information is retained. It is very suitable for vlog and video tutorial.

Automatic subtitle transfer interface

Just drag your video or audio file into it and click Run to generate an SRT subtitle.

Such rich features are no less than those professional video processing software, now the author has opened the source code on Gitee, if you are interested in making it more powerful, then click the link behind to the project home page to have a look: gitee.com/haujet/Quic…
