![]() ![]() ![]() The package is available through the standard Ubuntu repository. In case you don’t have one then, we advise you to contact your System Administrator for assistance. Note: Following operations require you to have superuser privileges. If you already have the package installed then skip the installation section covered next. But, first, we have to install a package: ffmpeg. So, if your work requires you to just combine video clips then ffmpeg can get you the results in no time. In this article, we cover how to merge videos in Ubuntu. In Ubuntu, we can easily combine different video clips through a command-line utility ffmpeg. We may try to combine them in such a way that it creates an impact on the viewers. So, let’s say we want to create a story from different video clips we have. If you end up with a bunch of video clips that you want to merge and you don’t need to apply any transitions or effects, you can merge them almost instantly with LosslessCut.There are numerous video editors that can help us merge two or more video files. I reduced this 3-minute long video to 3 seconds (each segment is 1-second long) where the volume was high. Click the Export button, select “Timeline” in the From field, and click “Export File”.Delete all other segments (choose Ripple Delete to remove empty space as well).Split the video again to create a one-second clip.Move the playhead forward or backward by 1 second (“Player” > “Forward One Second” or “Backward One Second”.).Scrub the playhead until you find an interesting segment.Again, I find this much easier to do in Shotcut than in Corel VideoStudio. Some segments will probably have high volume, e.g. Video Showing Only Selection of 1-second SegmentsĪnother option is to create a video from a selection of 1-second segments. Click on a segment you want to speed up, click Properties, and change the speed.Delete any segments you don’t want to keep (choose Ripple Delete to remove empty space as well).You can advance the playhead by 1 second by going to “Player” > “Forward One Second”. For 1x speed segments, I choose a duration of 1 second. Move the playhead by where you want to end the segment.Split the video at that playhead position.Scrub the playhead until you find a segment where the waveform is high (high volume) and the segment is interesting to show at 1x speed.Choose some or all segments where the waveform is high (high volume).Zoom in, if necessary, so that you can see the audio waveform.Drag it from the player to the timeline.Here are the steps I follow in Shotcut to create this type of video: The UI takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty simple to us. Shotcut, which is free, shows the waveform very clearly, runs faster and hasn’t crashed on me yet. I normally use Corel VideoStudio to edit videos but for this purpose, I find Shotcut to be easier to use. when you’re using a tool that makes a lot of noise (drilling, jackhammering, cutting, etc). However, I find the best effect is when the regular speed segments are ones that have a high volume, e.g. This is definitely more work but I personally find this better than just speeding up the entire video. Mixed-Speed VideoĪnother option is to timelapse (speed up) certain parts of the video and leave the other parts at regular 1x speed. The downside is the audio is also sped up and often doesn’t sound good so you usually mute the audio and optionally add some background music. Timelapsing an entire video is as easy as speeding up the video clip. You can also record an entire day’s worth of video, which I’ve also done using a WyzeCam mounted on a wall. Many people, including myself, will just leave a camera somewhere that will take many still photos at a set interval to create a timelapse video. Some home improvement projects can take all day. Fast Speed (Timelapse) VideoĪnother option is to just timelapse the entire video. Since most home improvement projects take longer than 30 seconds, I don’t recommend this option, unless you are maybe adding a voiceover that explains what you are doing in the video. But, if your video is long, people will get bored very quickly. If you have a short video, leaving the speed at normal 1x speed might be okay. ![]() The result can be pretty good but it doesn’t really give a sense of the amount of effort or process involved. You can just add a bunch of photos to the video track of your video editor, animate each photo (many video editors can do this automatically), add some music to the music/audio track, and render the video. There are many different ways you can edit home improvement videos. ![]()
