Heya,
I was just taking a video from YouTube and, in this case, cutting off
the largest part of the beginning of it, leaving only the end.
I have first used PiTiVi and later AviDemux and later tried ffpeg cmd
line.
(ffmpeg).
This was ultimately the command line that I used:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:5:50.800 -vcodec libx264 output.mp4
I don't know if its output is important.
The beginning of the scene starting at 00:5:50.800 of this file has a
transition that is a cross-fade from the previous scene. The transition
starts with the last full clear picture of the last scene, and then in
10 steps fades into the next one.
So this is a transition that takes 10 steps (frames) to complete at
30fps.
Now I recoded it using Linux and the same transition now takes 11 steps
to complete at 30fps.
All problems stem from these programs using the same library, I'm sure.
in this sequence of 11 frames the 2nd frame is always duplicated in the
output.
So you have the initial frame of the last scene, then the fading starts,
the 2nd frame is a light crossfade beginning and the 3rd frame is
identical to the 2nd frame. After that it proceeds as usual and as the
original video file.
I have no clue if this behaviour is dependent on the type of video but I
have done nothing else yet. It is so easy to see in this case because of
it being a crossfade.
I don't get how it happens but I just want to have a frame by frame
copy. I need to render because otherwise I won't have a starting
keyframe.
The frames themselves are NOT changed but the 2nd frame is duplicated.
Any idea what's going on here?
Picturesque:
<1> <2> <3> <4> <5> <6> <7> <8> <9> <10> <11>
becomes
<1> <2> <2> <3> <4> <5> <6> <7> <8> <9> <10> <11>
