I ACCIDENTALLY Screen Recorded 24GB masterpiece, oops… Here's How FFmpeg Saved My Linux Hard Drive!
Ever forget to stop SimpleScreenRecorder and end up with a MASSIVE video file? Yeah… I recorded 24GB without noticing. Instead of nuking my SSD, I used the power of FFmpeg on Linux to slice that monster down to a clean, usable clip—FAST.
In this video, I show you exactly how to trim hours of footage from the terminal using FFmpeg, without re-encoding, without lag, and without crashing your editor. Whether you're on openSUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, or anything in between, this trick will save your workflow (and your storage).
Learn how to:
