<p>I am looking for a piece(s) of software that can cut bulk videos into pieces and compress them.</p>

<p>So say I have 10 videos each 20 min, I would like to make a setting 5 min and the output would be  1 full compressed video and 4 cut compressed videos for each video for a total of 50 files.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-09-17)

I am looking for a piece(s) of software that can cut bulk videos into pieces and compress them.

So say I have 10 videos each 20 min, I would like to make a setting 5 min and the output would be 1 full compressed video and 4 cut compressed videos for each video for a total of 50 files.

Is there anything out there that does this?

Edit: i forgot to mention that adding a watermark to them all would be great also.

You would use [FFmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html) for that.
It requires that you are a bit familiar with using command line applications but even if you are not its really not complicated.
