How to extract a video clip...

[Paul Dupuis]

Thanks Martin,

My issue with mergeAV is that it is macOS/iOS only and I need macOS and 
Windows, so I would have to find another solution for Windows and if I 
use ffmpeg for Windows, I might as well use it for macOS as well so the 
same command line works across platforms and I am just installing a 
different version of ffmpeg based upon OS.

If mergeAV was macOS and Windows, I would definitely prioritize it over 
ffmpeg as a solution. I appreciate the suggestion though. I did not know 
mergeAV could create clips.

To bundle the macOS (~35mb) and Windows (~77mb) adds that size (or that compressed) to my Standalone, so my app can install it on the users system (I have the sort of computer novice customers that you do NOT want to ask to download additional software of). That's not too bad a size increase as my App sits at about 200-230mb currently.
