Scripted mpv

Here is a setup to use mpv as media browser and very simple selector / editor.

It needs a number of external programs:

• mpv
• ffmpeg (to clip and rotate)
• mousepad (for editing subtitles)
• imagemagick (for the convert command)
• a vidstab command (some script that stabilizes videos, for example ffmpeg with vidstab)

Although it is possible to "copy" clips from a video stream using ffmpeg, this is not used here because it doesn't give frame-accurate trim positions.

Keys

Keys that have no native binding in mpv: a, b, c, g, h, k, n, y -, =, ; and '

Some of these keys are given a binding in mbrowser:

; previous
' next

- rotate left (or auto-orient if possible)
= rotate right (or auto-orient if possible)

a edit subtitles "(a)nnotate"
b sta(b)ilize  # using external "vidstab <input> <output>" command
c create new (c)lip from current ab-loop setting
g open map at geotag location
k remove "(k)ill"
y undo "wh(y)...?"
