Sounds like a job for a script to me. 

You can use the -ss and -to switches with the ffmpeg command-line tool
to trim video files with time codes. Read the manual for details and
examples. There are also plenty of tutorials on the web about it.

It would relatively trivial to write a little script (AppleScript, Ruby,
Perl, shell, whatever) that reads a list of video names/paths along with
the appropriate time codes from a text file and then invoke ffmpeg with
the right parameters to do the splicing.
