Video-Split

Command line Python script that splits video into chunks. Must have FFMpeg installed. File paths should not contain any spaces. Based on video-splitter implemented by c0decracker.

Run python video_split.py -h to see the options.

Arguments

• -i File path to folder containing videos that will be split
• -o File path to folder where chunks will be saved
• -l Length of each chunk in seconds
• -e File type to save chunks as, for example mp4
• -s Set to 1 in order to exclude last chunk of each video so that all chunks are of equal length. Otherwise last chunk may be shorter.

Spliting video into equal chunks

python video_split.py -i <input folder path> -o <output folder path> -l 2 -e mp4

This line will split all of the videos in the input folder into 2 second chunks and save them to the output folder.

For example, if the input folder contains the following videos:

• vid1.mp4 Length: 5 seconds
• vid2.mp4 Length: 5 seconds

After running the above line, the output folder will contain:

• vid1-0.mp4 Length: 2 seconds
• vid1-1.mp4 Length: 2 seconds
• vid1-2.mp4 Length: 1 second
• vid2-0.mp4 Length: 2 seconds
• vid2-1.mp4 Length: 2 seconds
• vid2-2.mp4 Length: 1 second

Exluding the last chunk

python video_split.py -i <input folder path> -o <output folder path> -l 2 -e mp4 -s 1

Running the line above on the same input folder will create the following files:

• vid1-0.mp4 Length: 2 seconds
• vid1-1.mp4 Length: 2 seconds
• vid2-0.mp4 Length: 2 seconds
• vid2-1.mp4 Length: 2 seconds
