@kazuhide , great article - could this process perhaps be used to add an age-rating or a content-warning to a movie, while maintaining the movie’s original soundtrack, and without having to use a craft-editor?

@Adrian Yes, if such warning video is in the video format (e.g. a 10-second video with silent audio), this feature can be used to add it before the main video content like a pre-roll.

Hi @kazuhide ,

great article thank you.
Just a question. Is there any way to simply trim the input video without encoding it again?
In my case possibly I don’t know the original codec specifications and I don’t want lose quality.

Thank you!
