Hi everybody my name is Ken Fallon and you're listening to another episode of HPR Public Radio.
|
|
Today there are two utilities that I wanted to bring you to your attention and before I get
|
|
myself in trouble with myself there are two very related utilities so therefore that's why I'm
|
|
doing them together. The first one is called Simple Screen Recorder. It's by Martin Barrett.
|
|
Martin Barrett.BE for such simple screen recorder and what it does is record your screen. When
|
|
you start it up you get a welcome screen you press continue you can select what you want to record,
|
|
what audio you want to record, then you go to the next screen you can select the type MKV MP3
|
|
og webm whatever and the audio codec you want to use you press continue again then this button
|
|
start recording and that's it to record your screen very very simple when you're finished you press
|
|
save recording and that's it done your video will have appeared in your home videos folder wherever
|
|
you choose to record it so that's simple enough too depending on your desktop I use LXQT
|
|
and therefore I have more of these small simple unix like do one thing do it well type tools your
|
|
desktop may vary for that sort of recording but now you end up with a recording of your desktop and you
|
|
want to you're happy enough with the container format but you just want to chop the bit at the front
|
|
and the bit at the end of where you're pressing pause and whatever you might also want to
|
|
I don't know cut out bits in the middle and stuff like that so you're not actually video editing
|
|
a search you're not doing transitions you're just chopping up a piece of video and for that I had
|
|
a little look around and there is an excellent tool called Vid cutter and it's on github.com
|
|
as martin vid cutter and it is available for arch debi and fedora make into open suzi and
|
|
Ubuntu windows and mac users as well brew and it uses I think
|
|
vid cutter so if you open up the log if you open up configuration somewhere the tools it uses
|
|
is ff mpag ff probe and media and for all three of my all-time favorite video tools you're
|
|
basically greeted with a a screen that shows you the video on the bottom like a your classic
|
|
video track you press open media and you import the video that you want to chop you move forward
|
|
the time frame to where you want to start chopping you can press the open down arrow keys on
|
|
either the milliseconds seconds or hours minutes whatever and you can you can jump one second if
|
|
you're the one second thing one minute if you're in the one minute area it gives you an idea of
|
|
the frames and then you press start of clip and then you move to the end and you press end of clip
|
|
and you can continue to do enough for several different ones and it will add them as chapters
|
|
on the right hand side and when you're done there's basically one button and it's called save
|
|
media and when you do that it'll chop it to the nearest eye frame modify the video itself and
|
|
truncate those those frames for you assembling it together as one simple video really really simple
|
|
I like it I like the UI it's really really handy and I've used it several times for bits and pieces
|
|
that I've needed to do in the last few days just where you take a video and I wanted to
|
|
something happens and this is a long transition where nothing is happening then something happens
|
|
so you can make a compilation video real quick and take the audio out because you just want to show
|
|
somebody this event is occurring frequently over time and because you have the ability to do
|
|
just take a video and chop it up this fast it's really it's really to the level of being simple text
|
|
editor type function but then for videos that's how simple it is so links to all of these will be
|
|
in the show notes it's called vid cutter and the other one then is a simple screen recorder
|
|
