How do I make a trimmed video show the missing frames from a Zoom recording using ffmpeg?

Question

I have a Zoom video that I "cut" into two videos:

ffmpeg -i 0131.mp4 -ss 55 -t 38:52 -codec copy 0131-1.mp4
ffmpeg -i 0131.mp4 -ss 40:00 -t 1:52 -codec copy 0131-2.mp4

I then merged into one using [concat demuxer][1] in ffmpeg.

The merged video plays, but the first 15 seconds of the merged video is blank (audio plays okay). What do I need to do so that first 15 seconds of the merged video also displays? Is this due to a "keyframe" not appearing for 15 seconds after my cut point?

Every time I concat, I quickly run it thru this awesome little freeware from Mean beforehand, avidemux, (MP4 Muxer->Move index to the beginning of the file->Save) and it fixes the majority of any concat issues I've run into. Not sure if it will fix your issue, but it can't hurt and somewhere down the line avidemux will come in handy and fix a concat issue if you're having one. Shoutout to Mean for such a helpful piece of freeware!
