My job is to re-edit already made videos, and it would make my life much easier to have the videos already cut for me so i can use the clips individually. So I was just wondering if there is a plugin which exists that can cut these videos up for me so I don't have to go through the video and manually cut every scene.
How I expect it to work; I would drag the original video into my timeline, and the plugin can determine where exact cuts need made because of colour change in scenes for example.
Hi Rory, I personally don't know of anything like that. But wouldn't that be nice to have! How are your videos recorded or handed to you? Is there a way to add markers placed on the camera changes or some kind of metadata included in the video that is handed to you?
Digital Rebellion has an edit detector as part of it's suite of ProMediaTools. Pretty sure there's a demo available to see if it works for you. It's not a plug-in but if I remember correctly outputs an xml file which you can bring in to Premiere. Oddly enough when I first saw your subject I thought you were looking for some sort of AI that would do all your editing for you...
hehe... me too. The title made me think of a desire for robots to edit while you sleep. In resolve ( color) there's something to do that as you import the footage from media pool I think.. use it once as part of a tutorial I took a couple months ago. It was screwed up on cross dissolves and stuff like a car at night turns on it's headlights... but it's easy to delete those 'false cuts' as part of the process... you have to do the tutorial to know what I mean I guess.
