You can generate small clips using GStreamer or FFmpeg pretty easily, e.g. ffmpeg -i infile -t 60 ... outfile.mp4 Will only encode the first 60 seconds of your input file. If you don't have any input files you want to use then use a test source to generate a small video: gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc num-buffers=500 ! x264enc crf=23 ! qtmux ! filesink location="test.mp4" The GStreamer filesrc also supports num-buffers so you can limit the amount of an input file that is encoded.
