Clipped video using ffmpeg is shorter than expected

Question

I'm trying to get a clip of length 6 secs from a MP4 video (size: 1.44 GB, length: 02:23:38). But video stream stops after 1 sec, while audio stream keeps playing normally until 6 secs.

I'm using this command to do the clipping:

ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -ss 00:50:40.0 -c:v copy -c:a copy -t 00:00:06.0 -async 1 clip.mp4

Can any one help me in this issue?

Thankyou

Answer 1

You shouldn't really copy the encoded stream when your target is just a segment of it. You can either place the -ss & -t options before the input file but then the cutting will be done on a keyframe, or place them before the output file as you've done for a precise cutting, but you'll have to transcode the video, that is, remove the -c:v copy -c:a copy from your command. A detailed explanation is available in this answer.
