saladin442 lotuspsychje: how about command-line video editer?11:42
lotuspsychje!info openshot | saladin44211:43
ubot5saladin442: openshot (source: openshot): Create and edit videos and movies. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.3-1.1 (vivid), package size 21223 kB, installed size 55704 kB11:43
saladin442wow! is it command-line supported? cause i am blind, and cannot use the graphical user interface to edit video, maybe using the command line will work, since i just have to maybe set the time (from xx minutes and xx seconds to xx minutes and xx seconds) and then do the cutting11:45
