I have several training videos. All .MP4s.
I want to remove 3.5 seconds from the beginning and 4.5 seconds from the end of the entire folder of them...
I know of
Eric Lalonde script was good enough, thank you!
For those who can't or don't like installing ffmpeg, I added ffmpeg path variable. In my scenario I am cutting the 14 seconds from the beginning and 9 seconds at the end.
