Copyright holders would still track the IPs that these shards are coming from and sue/threaten them for copyright infringement. 5 seconds of Mulan compressed and sitting in isolation is still illegal to distribute

Is that really true? I thought it was fine to use small snippets of stuff?

It's fine to use small snippets, but it specifically has to be for commentary, satire, derivative works, etc. The term you're looking for is 'fair use'

Which is still infringement technically, fair use is a defense for infringement

Even distributing a single still image or frame is infringement
