Chris Wilson Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 What's the easiest free software to use to edit an MP4 file? I just want to lose the start and finish and keep a mid section. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I struggled to find anything useful, I ended up using Adobe Premier Elements that came with my Sanyo Xacti camcorder. SOrry thats not much help, but if you want me to edit the video then let me know and I can download it and then upload it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 http://www.gatesgarth.com/owl.mp4 Can you cut the start off up to 1:20 minutes and the end of after 2:00 minutes please? I have found some software but it's baffling me at the moment Thanks Branners. It turned out MUCH bigger than I thought, plus my walk_in_woods.mp4 turned out like War and Peace Too much resolution I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 thats a big old file. How will I get it back to you? regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Can you drive over with it? Hadn't thought of that, can I download it off the site server somehow? I might be able to put a temporary access on my FTP server, but I usually break it when I fiddle with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 If you can send me the file I should be able to sort it out for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I downloaded it but I couldn't open it in media player and Sony Vegas wouldn't touch it! Is the file intact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 quicktime, vlc and a few others don't appear to open it, otherwise i could edit it and put it on my dropbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hmm, file size is smaller than the original, looks like it petered out uploading. Will try again, sorry guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have given up on this for now as every time I try to upload the (working) file of about 250 megs it seems to finish after a couple of manual resumes, but the file on the server is still a lot smaller than the one I am uploading.... Plus with the connecvtion I have in the sticks it takes 3 hours to do this Thanks for trying, may try again in the week when the kids are back to school and the local wires are less heavily loaded.

Branners Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I may have software from my previous Sanyo Xacti camera that can edit the video, let me see if I can fish it out and if it has a video editor I will send it up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Or you could convert it to an mpeg or wmv and then edit with Windows Movie Maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
