Description
Background
As an contributor, I typically try to upload GoPro timelapse videos.
The segmentation of large videos is discussed in https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary_tools/issues/636.
Independently, there are cases where an existing video has to be cut and uploaded (e.g. to cut out maneuvering on a parking lot).
It would be convenient to do this via the Mapillary command line tool. Also, cutting using the Mapillary toolchain can make certain that video/time/telemetry data is consistent and meets Mapillary's own expectations.
New Feature Proposal
- By default, the Mapillary command line tool should upload the specified video completely (behavior as of today).
- If an optional start_time argument is passed, then the video is uploaded from the start_time.
- If an optional end_time argument is passed, then the video is uploaded until the end_time.

Research direction
Start by reading the CLI's existing video upload entry point and issue 636, which discusses related video segmentation. Trace how video, time, and telemetry data are handled, then define tests for uploads with optional start_time, end_time, both, and neither; no files or tests are named in the issue.
