I have a 5 min mp4 video file. I want to cut in between from 2 min to 3 min.

E.g. Video1.mp4 is 5 min long video, the output should be another file called Video2.mp4 that contain 2 min to 3 min from Video1.mp4.

What do i need to edit from the code below? Please help?


#include "stdafx.h" //By default

#include < string.h>

#include < stdio.h>

#include < stdlib.h>

#include "cv.h"

#include < highgui.h>

#include "cxcore.h"

#include <iostream> //To use cout and cin

using namespace cv; //To use VideoCapture

//Public file path

string fullPath;

VideoCapture capture(0);

void ExplicitWM()

{

//Explicit Watermark

//Input Message
char txt[100] = {'\0'};
cout << "Enter message to encode: " << endl;
cout<<"-----------------------"<< endl;
cin >> txt;


double dWidth = capture.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH); //get the width of frames of the video
double dHeight = capture.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT); //get the height of frames of the video

cout << "Frame Size = " << dWidth << "x" << dHeight << endl;

Size frameSize(static_cast<int>(dWidth), static_cast<int>(dHeight));

//Save Video to desktop
string userProfile = getenv("userprofile");
string path = userProfile + "\\Desktop\\";
string saveVid;
getline (cin, saveVid);
string fullPath = path + saveVid;

//CV_FOURCC('P','I','M','1') is a MPEG-1 codec
VideoWriter oVideoWriter (fullPath + "SavedVid.avi", CV_FOURCC('P', 'I', 'M', '1'), 30, frameSize, true); //initialize the VideoWriter object 

if ( !oVideoWriter.isOpened() ) //if not initialize the VideoWriter successfully, exit the program
{
    cout << "ERROR: Failed to write the video" << endl;
}

while ( capture.isOpened() )
{
        Mat frame;

        bool bSuccess = capture.read(frame); // read a new frame from video

        imshow("Original Video", frame); //show the frame in "Original Video" window

        Mat imgW = frame;

        // cvScalar(255,255,255) = rgb
        // cvPoint(40,40) = x-y cord
        // 0.8 = font size
        putText(imgW, txt, cvPoint(400,400), CV_FONT_HERSHEY_COMPLEX, 0.8, cvScalar(255,255,255), 1, CV_AA);


        imshow("Watermarked Video", imgW); //show the frame of which watermark added

        oVideoWriter.write(imgW); //write the frame into the file

        if (waitKey(30) == 27) //wait for 'esc' key press for 30 ms. If 'esc' key is pressed, break loop
        {
                cout << "Esc key is pressed by user" << endl; 
                break; 
        }
}

}

int main(int argc, char* argv[] )

{

cout<< endl;

cout << "Place video in Desktop and enter file name (e.g. vid.avi):" << endl;

cout<<"--------------------------------------"<< endl;

//Get user desktop file path

string userProfile = getenv("userprofile"); //GetEnvironmentVariable() is to get current userprofile (e.g."C:\Users\L30807")

Have a look on VideoCapture::get, where using the property identifier CV_CAP_PROP_FPS you will get the frame rate, using this you can,

  • Convert start time and stop time to frame count using

     start_frame_count = frame_per_sec * 60 * start_time_in_min;   
     stop_frame_count = frame_per_sec * 60 * stop_time_in_min;
    
  • Count frames in while loop.

  • Check whether the count reaches on start or stop frame count.

    The code look like,

     frameCount=0;
      while(1)
      {
       frameCount++;
       capture.read(frame); 
       if(frameCount>=start_frame_count&&frameCount<stop_frame_count) 
          VideoWriter.write(frame); 
       else if(frameCount == stop_frame_count)
         break;
       }
    

Also refer the answer here, might be useful.

Note: The code is not tested.

Thank you. I would like to edit the code as "frameCount == stop_frame_count" will not match, it need to be in whole number.

void Watermark()

{

stop_frame_count = int(stop_frame_count+0.5);

frameCount=0;

while(1)
{
     frameCount++;

     capture.read(frame); 

     if(frameCount &gt;= start_frame_count &amp;&amp; frameCount &lt; stop_frame_count) 
     {
        VideoWriter.write(frame); 
     }

     else if(frameCount == stop_frame_count)
     {
       break;
     }
 }

}
