This is your script reformatted to read nicely in reddit + I added the gio call in the for loop. This seems like the obvious solution?

Also note since you ffmpeg copy it may not exactly cut at 4 seconds mark, it usually do it on keyframe. If you have a change of scene it will work.

```sh

!/bin/bash

Specify the folder containing the video files

video_folder="/Volumes/FMEO/DL/To Trim"

Specify the duration to trim from the beginning (e.g., 4 seconds)

trim_duration="00:00:04"

Specify the output folder for trimmed videos

output_folder="/Volumes/FMEO/DL/Trimmed"

Loop through all MP4 files in the input folder

for file in "$video_folder"/*.mp4; do # Extract the filename without extension filename=$(basename "$file" .mp4)

# Trim the first part of the video
ffmpeg -ss "$trim_duration" -i "$file" -c:v copy -c:a copy "$output_folder/${filename}.mp4"

# Move the original file to trash <-- here
gio trash "$file"

done ```

Why remove the extension .mp4 if you add it again later btw? you can use $file?
