# Output file is <filename>_clip.mp4

FILE=$1
START_TIME=$2
END_TIME=$3

echo "start $(date -Iseconds)"

#Don't rotate 180
ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel error -i "$1" -ss "$START_TIME" -to "$END_TIME" -metadata:s:v rotate=0 -codec:v libx264 -codec:a aac "$1_clip.mp4"
# ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel error -i "$1" -ss "$START_TIME" -to "$END_TIME" -metadata:s:v rotate=0 -codec:v copy -codec:a aac "$1_clip.mp4"
# ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel error -i "$1" -ss "$START_TIME" -to "$END_TIME" -metadata:s:v rotate=0 -codec:v copy -codec:a copy "$1_clip.mp4"

#Rotate 180
