Ninve

Ninve (Ninve Is Not a Video Editor) is a simple (MPV wrapper) command-line tool written in Rust that allows you to quickly trim videos in a lossless manner using a text-based user interface (TUI). It uses mpv and ffmpeg to provide an efficient and user-friendly video trimming experience.

Features

• Lossless video trimming
• Text-based user interface (TUI) for easy navigation
• Simple command-line usage
• Lightweight and fast, built with Rust

Prerequisites

To use Ninve, you need the following dependencies installed on your system:

• mpv: A free, open-source media player
• ffmpeg: A powerful multimedia framework for handling video and audio

Ensure these binaries are available in your system's PATH.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/ninve.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ninve

3. Build the project using Cargo:

   cargo build --release

4. The binary will be available in target/release/ninve.

Arch Linux installation

yay -S ninve

Usage

Run Ninve by providing the path to the input video file:

ninve ./path-to-my-file.mp4

Optionally, you can specify an output path for the trimmed video:

ninve ./path-to-my-file.mp4 ./output-file.mp4

The TUI will guide you through selecting the start and end points for trimming the video.
