CutDetectorUI
Coming Soon!
A standalone app to automatically detect cuts in video files.
01
Automatic Cut Detection
CutDetectorUI harnasses PySceneDetect to automatically detect cuts in a video clip and visualises them in a spike graph.
The viewer shows the current and previous frame to quickly verify the detection results.
Ctl+click on a shot in the Shot Table will show it's ContactSheet View (see below)
​​​
02
Realtime Shot Extraction
The analysis data is automatically saved so that each clip only has to be analysed once (even between sessions).
The threshold line can be moved to define which of the spikes signify an actual cut and produce an entry in the shots table.
03
Stay in Control
False positives can simply be selected in the Shots Table and deleted.
Missing cuts can be identified via the ContactSheet View - simply select the first frame of a missed cut and hit "c" to add a manual cut point.
Manual edits are visualised in the Graph View and saved in the session even when the threshold changes later.
04
Text Extraction
CutDetectorUI uses Tesseract to extract text from images.
Ctrl(Cmd)+click drag in the viewer to define the area you want text to be exrtacted from.
Click the little gear icon in the column you want to hold the resulting data.
​
04
Prepare The Data You Need
Extracted data can be edited in the shots table via search&replace, new columns can be added to hold more text.
Text parse an existing column to create a new one
e.g. make a sequence column "010" from a shot column holding data like "010_0020".
05
Get What You Need
Export to otio, aaf, edl, xml...
CSV with the data from the Shot Table can be exported. For quick shot creation in Autodesk's Flow Production Tracking (aka ShotGrid) the shot data can be exported directly to the clipboard ready to be pasted into ShotGrid's import module.
06
Integration with Foundry's Hiero
Using Hiero? Run the CutDetectorUI like a native panel on a selected bin item and create a sequence on the fly without the need for exporting/importing.
