Anyone gotten Scene Edit Detection working? On my PC, I've tried a variety of media and scene edit detection simply does it's Analyzing, then nothing. No cuts, no edits.

 

On Windows 10, Premiere v14.4.0 (Build 38)

 

 

Correct answer Jeff Bugbee

I posted prematurely. I had installed the latest update and immediately ran Premiere and had edit detection fail. A simple reboot made the Scene Edit Detection work.

Yeah I just wanted to add my experience here as I got it to work.

 

If you don't have audio on that clip it won't add cuts, for whatever reason I'm not sure but this still seems to be a persistent problem to this day.

Thank you; I can confirm this, AND there's a workaround. Simply drag a copy of any audio file of any kind (even if it's a shorter clip than the video) and place it in timeline under the video strip, then select the audio clip and video clip, right click, "Link". Now scene edit detection seems to work flawlessly on that strip as long as it has audio of some kind.

Currently on Windows 10, Premiere Pro 2024, version 24.6.1 (Build 2)

Also not working with me, I just use DaVinci's "Detect scene cuts" then just export xml file for Premiere. way more faster.

You need to understand, the task is not to improve something with updates, but to convince investors that everything is going on as it should. There are many muddy firms that produce for money what could have become part of the product for a long time, but never became and never become ... lol

Every time I use it, I get no cuts the first time, but then I close Premiere Pro, open it again and immediately run Scene Edit Detection again and it works.  Not a huge pain to do this but it's definitely a bug and it would be nice if it just worked the first time.

If anyone is still having trouble with this, I found that having the audio, and ensuring audio and video is linked, got detection working for me. No idea why!

Same here. Not tryng to pile on with unhelpful stories, but I've been trying all of these solutions and still the same issue. It will analyse, and then do nothing.

I also have this problem on windows 10. I run scene edit detection , it spends a few minutes analysing and when it's done nothing happens
