"Cutting" Video via GStreamer

[Thibault Saunier]

Hello Frede,

You should probably use GES (GStreamer Editing Services) for that. In
a simple ges-launch style what you are trying to do would look like:

ges-launch-1.0 file:///path/to/your/file inpoint duration

And it should be pretty easy to do that programatically.

Regards,

Thibault Saunier
