Cool stuff! Personally, I prefer to cut things precisely and not have some predefined length. I used some free video editor for that

We're talking about mpv here, they don't even consider a decent UI something necessary.

Personally, I've been trying the various noise-filtering tools available in mpv. I've found out they have 3 or 4 different approaches, including AI stuff. I think mpv command line options are pretty cumbersome to write, and it took me a while to figure everything out, but in the end one approach (afftdn) worked quite well for me.

I think it's just that I don't want to interrupt myself while watching a long TV show or movie just because a scene might make an interesting clip. So instead, I lazily create a bunch of rough clips of interesting scenes, and then cut them down to precise lengths later.
There's also cases where I am watching long ass compilations of something or maybe even a livestream vod.

I wasn't really talking about mpv in this case but about like all of the other media players that are available like Windows MPC-HC, MPC-BE, VLC, QMPlay2, etc. I mean there are various UI tools for mpv if you want them with fairly simple installation instructions but mpv as a whole seems like a thing for nerds to mess around to their liking.

Makes sense
>I wasn't really talking about mpv in this case
I just checked and apparently you can make clips from a video in vlc. You need to turn on "Advanced controls" in the "View" menu. That gives you a "record" button that can be used to record a clip from what you are watching.
>there are various UI tools for mpv
True, and maybe I should check them out. What discouraged me is that apparently they are not that popular and most people use mpv directly, or at least that was my impression. So I feel like the mpv people deciding not to work on a proper UI resulted in everyone giving up on having one, which is a shame.

Generated a few changes to the script: https://files.catbox.moe/x41md3.rar
This version of the script re-encodes the video instead of using -c copy, due to the earlier mentioned keyframe precision issue. Because FFmpeg needs to decode the video from the beginning up to the target timestamp when re-encoding (especially when using -ss after the input), the encoding process takes longer the further into the video you go.
For clipping Anime:
Subtitles, it copies all of them over to the output container .mkv (or .mp4 if the subtitles are compatible: mov_text).
Audio, the script checks whether there is a Japanese audio stream (jpn). If one exists, it copies only that stream; otherwise, it defaults to the first available audio stream.
I did this mostly because you can't really pick out the correct English subtitle stream in most cases and I don't really wanna have to switch to the Japanese audio every time I open a clip. (yeah, fuck you English dub watchers)
Also its now 5s - 15s - 30s - 60s - 90s - 120s buttons.

Oh yeah, before using this please change the value of "OUT_DIR" to an directory where you want to clips to output to. Also, you can open the console in mpv with ` if you encounter an error with the clip feature.
