Automatically cut an imported video by black frames, camera changes, etc
Hi,
I’m working on a project which recently migrated from Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere CS5 for editing. I’ve been tasked with migrating the remainder of our Final Cut sequences over to Premiere.
We were using a borrowed Mac for our Final Cut work, which we’ve since returned. Therefore I have no way to open back up Final Cut and do any further exporting– all I have to work with are complete renders of each sequence exported from Final Cut as large cumulative video files.
What I’d like to figure out how to do is split these clips back up into their pieces for further editing. All the splits I would need to make would be on either black frames or camera cuts — things that I feel like Premiere should be able to detect automatically somehow.
Is there any way to automatically split up my clips, razoring them at all the points where the video goes entirely black, or something similar?
TIA

For QuickTime in general it’s called the Scene detector
An AE script that does the same thing called MagnumBest,

Cool, thanks for the tip on Magnum. However, I really need the edits in Premiere.. is there any easy way to do the same thing in Premiere, or do it in AE and reimport the clipped video into premiere?
