# (YouTube) Clipgen
A Python script to grab specific or random segments from youtube videos, or videos on your hard drive. Simply enter the link, the desired start and end (or random clip length) in mm:ss or ss, repeat for every clip you want to make, and done!

## Why use this tool?

- After selecting a clip, the application previews the first and last 5 seconds so you're sure you've got the clip you want.
- Quickly create multiple clips from a simple CLI.
- Creates video files in the background, so you can keep selecting clips whilst the other ones are being written.
- (When creating random clips) doesn't accidentally re-use the same footage multiple times.
