title: Cutting out a portion of video - python
body: <p>I have videos of length approximately 25 min each and I wish to cut a few seconds from the start using python. </p>
  
  <p>Searching about it, I stumbled upon the moviepy package for python. The problem is, it takes up a lot of time even for a single video. Following is the code snippet I use to cut 7 seconds from the start of a single video. The write process consumes a lot of time. Is there a better way to cut the videos using python? </p>
  
  <pre><code>from moviepy.editor import *
  clip = VideoFileClip("video1.mp4").cutout(0, 7)
  clip.write_videofile("test.mp4")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please let me know if I have missed out any details.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated. Thanks!</p>
