  • screen cut detection – grouping similar shots

    Posted by Jakob Eriksen on September 15, 2011 at 9:43 pm

    When using “screen cut detection” – is there a way to manually/automatic group similar shots together – so you can compare shots side by side?

    However, still being able to jump back to viewing the timeline normally.

    Best Regards,

    No, because your source and record timecode is the same.

    I would have no problem grouping/tagging the shots manually if we are talking 3-4 minutes of footage.
    Having the option would be great.

    I do not know how complex it would be to automatic analyse the shots and sort them based om similarities.
    The idea of ​​being able to do it automatically, it was just a thought.

    If you’re willing to put in some manual labor, create a new empty session, and use the split clips produced by scene detector to rough assemble the cuts the way you want them.

    You can switch timelines fairly easily without affecting your grades.

    What you really want is to ask your clients for source media or proper labeled encodes.
    They will fall into place and show up next to each other in source mode.
    On the other hand , a content aware search and group function would be clever , If iPhoto can do it, Resolvd could do too 🙂
    That same algorithm could also be used to slip footage to match the offline and even do SRT .
    I would buy such a tool .
