fcptrim

Trim video files as specified in a Final Cut Pro XML file

Usage

Install dependencies

Install NodeJS. Install ffmpeg:

brew install ffmpeg

Install

npm install -g fcptrim

Create "Final Cut Pro XML" representing any number of trimmed videos in a sequence

I used Adobe Premiere. Presumably other programs might work as well, like FCP? The trimmed clips must all be the same length and must all start at time 0.

Trim

Output will be written to trimmed/ in the current directory.
