clipper
tiny cli for ffmpeg to trim ReplayBuffer/ShadowPlay recordings into short clips of a target size
will check the output file's size and if larger than desired, will keep reducing quality by re-encoding
made for windows, but probably works on other platforms
requirements
- NVIDIA GPU with NVENC support (specifically, h264_nvenc)
- ffmpeg built with NVENC is available in your PATH
how-to
- setup obs replay buffer or nvidia shadowplay
- configure clipper.yml with a text editor
- clip a video, minimal example:
clipper.exe -time=02:14 -dur=12
this will grab the most recently created file inside inputFolder and create a 12 second long clip, starting at the 02:14
if you wish to specify a specific video file inside inputFolder for clipping, check out the -file arg below
cli arguments

-time=02:14- timestamp in video to start at (string) - duration -
