Recommended Workflow

1. Upload your video clip and start the Scene Cut Detection. If the file exceeds the maximum upload limit, you can also upload a compressed version of your video.
2. Download the generated EDL/XML and place it in the same folder as the original video clip.
3. Import the EDL/XML into your editing program, link it to the original video clip and start editing.

Algorithms

1. Content-Aware Detection is an algorithm designed to identify alterations within specific regions of an image. When significant changes are detected, it automatically triggers a cut, making it the ideal choice for analyzing darker movie scenes.
2. Threshold-Based Detection operates by analyzing the intensity and brightness levels of individual frames. When these levels surpass a predefined threshold, a cut is initiated. This method represents a more traditional approach to cut detection, relying on classic techniques.

Demo File

You can try the tool with our technical test file.

• MP4/H264 video of 3 minutes length in 25fps with different color changes.

The tool is free! But expensive to run.

Scene Cut Detection requires a lot of server power, yet we decided to offer the tool for free as long as we can cover the costs through donations. Since EditingTools.io is ad-free and wants to stay that way, we appreciate a donation to keep the tools running and to develop more features. We would be very grateful for a little donation over Buy Me a Coffee or PayPal. Thank you and have a productive day!
