Which method is recommended for cutting video clips: cv2.VideoCapture, pyautogui, or ffmpeg?

I found two ways in my codebase for cutting video clips:

  1. cv2.VideoCapture - Uses OpenCV for precise frame-level video cutting with fast processing

  2. pyautogui - Uses screen recording for flexible, real-time video capture

I'm wondering which of these (or ffmpeg) would be the most recommended approach for cutting video clips in Python? What are the pros and cons of each method?
