Simple GUI application to download video fragments from YouTube or other social nets using ffmpeg and yt-dlp console tools

YtCut

A simple GUI application for downloading full video or its fragments from YouTube or other social networks. It simply wraps the console tools yt-dlp and ffmpeg to provide a tiny fraction of their immense capabilities to everyone.

Use tooltips to explore the features of the user interface. If a full video is downloaded, yt-dlp is used directly. Otherwise ffmpeg is used to get the fragment.

Inspired by the idea of a creative society.

Requirements

Application is written in Python using:

• PyQt6
• pathvalidate

Application icon was generated using matplotlib and numpy Python packages.

Also you will need the PyInstaller Python package to create an independent executable.

Dependencies

• yt-dlp as compiled executable
• and ffmpeg

By default on Windows, they are expected to be placed in the tools directory next to main.py file or the YtCut executable. In other operating systems, these tools should be in the standard paths. Use the --youtube-dl and --ffmpeg options to specify the actual path to each tool.
