You need to install ffmpeg.
To install the ffmpeg sudo apt-get install ffmpeg to copy specific short durationg from the video file.
Sample :-
ffmpeg -i original.mp4 -ss 00:03:20 -c copy -t 00:00:30 output.mp4-i -->Input file. The file name of the original video clip.
-ss -->Copy the new video from the original video started after 3 minute and 20 seconds.
-t -->Duration of the new video clip,(ex:- 30 seconds.)
5Vidcutter is a simple tool that can trim your videos. Install with

1You could checkout my project called VideoCut.
It has a very fast muxer (you can cut without recoding). Its design has been kept simple and was inspired by DVB-Cut.
It supports mp4, AVCH ,avi, webm and supports TS transportstreams
and can be downloaded from github.
You can use my app dmMediaConverter for this. It has an option to trim the file without reencoding it, so, it is very fast and lossless.
