How can I efficiently cut out part of a video?
Try this and tell us if it is faster (if it can, it will extract the video directly using ffmpeg, without decoding and reencoding): from moviepy.video.io.ffmpeg_tools import ffmpeg_extract_subclip ffmpeg_extract_subclip(“video1.mp4″, start_time, end_time, targetname=”test.mp4”) If that doesn’t help, have a look at the code
