In this case, the -c copy flag is used to define the output file in this case, the file editedvideo.mp4. Similarly to -ss, if you don’t want to cut part of the end of the video, but only part of the beginning, you don’t need to apply this flag. The option -t is used to specify the end of the new file in this case, the video will end at 00:02:00.
