History of 2025-08-18 Cutting clips from videos with Emacs

2025-08-18
		16:25 UTC Revision 1 . . . . mbork – I often want to show someone a clip from a video. When that someone is sitting next to me, I can just seek the right place in the video and hit “start”. But what if not? What if I’d like to upload the clip somewhere, or maybe even email it? Or just I don’t want to search for the right place, or risk showing too much of the video (which might contain spoilers, for example)? Now, the first answer that comes to my mind is to extract the clip to a separate video file and play that instead. Of course, if you know me even a bit, you won’t be surprised that I’d like to do that from within the comfort of Emacs.
