A reminder for all who haven't followed me in the new location, this account is defunct and will not be updated except for future notices reminding people that this account is defunct.
The new account is @orrery. Please consider migrating your follow in case you haven't already. That said, I'm presently in emotional lockdown, so follower requests may take some time to process.
Okay, bird. You're just emailing your postfurry theory links to your therapist.
There's nothing odd about this. Deep breaths. It's an assignment, a followthrough task on your deconstructive analysis. You can do this.
No need to panic.
I hate when reminders turn out to have been warnings.
Then I have to feel dumb twice.
@loki So, I'm not at the "knows all the command-line switches" stage; I've worked with it as part of building a live transcoder for work but we only do streaming, so I've never tried to use it as a splicer.
That said, maybe you could do the trimming in stages? If you can reliably cut the first 5:10, do that on the first pass, save that to a new file, then come back and trim everything after on a second cut?
