Some movies I like to share with children, like &#8220;A Christmas Story,&#8221; but you got scenes and words they should not hear. I read about some methods and plugins for VLC, but some have been removed or too old for current VLC versions on Windows. So I am asking if anyone knows of fresh methods (free software [I can not afford to buy anything] or methods within VLC) to be able to play a movie and have it mute certain time frames I choose and skip or blank out others? Looking for some current suggestions that would work, like a text file it reads from to mute, skip, blank time frames, or some editing of a copy of the movie (because I will not manipulate the original file), or something.<br \/>\nThank you for any ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":30},"question-category":[65],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-3977","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-10"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/3977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=3977"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=3977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
