You can generate small clips using GStreamer or FFmpeg pretty easily,
e.g.

ffmpeg -i infile -t 60 ... outfile.mp4

Will only encode the first 60 seconds of your input file. If you don't
have any input files you want to use then use a test source to generate
a small video:

gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc num-buffers=500 ! x264enc crf=23 ! qtmux !
filesink location="test.mp4"

The GStreamer filesrc also supports num-buffers so you can limit the
amount of an input file that is encoded.

Take care,
