I have a video of 2000 x 200 pixels in resolution I need to grab two parts inside that video (cut into the image, not trimming).

I need to grab a piece of 500 x 200 pixels from coordinates (0,0) and another 500 x 200 pixels from coordinates (1000,0), then merge them side by side into a new 1000 x pixels video file.

enter image description here

is that possible ?

Sure. Command template is

ffmpeg -i video.mov -filter_complex "[0]crop=500:200:0:0[l];[0]crop=500:200:1000:0[r]; \
                                     [l][r]hstack" final.mov

  • Very nice @Mulvya ! I am very new to ffmpeg. This is just perfect. What a useful tool ffmpeg is ! Can you explain some details though ? - what are those [] tags ? - and what "hstack" stands for ? thanks a lot

  • hstack is a filter which stacks videos (of same height) horizontally. The brackets with a string are pads - read about them at ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#Filtergraph-syntax-1
