    Just wondering if anyone has found a cut detection plug for FCP…doing a cut of 4 cam mix of some bands and have to grade each cam – which means finding the cut points…

    cheers

    The 4 cam mix is on dv tape….as I understand it, it only works on time of day for detection….would it work if the timecode is continuous?

    There is an app called Toki Shot which will do shot detection on a QT movie and save it as an EDL:

    [Jase] “would it work if the timecode is continuous?”

    Nope.

    As you say, it looks at the time differences.

    As I recall, iMovie has SCENE-CHANGE detection.

    If you can get that to work (easy enough to TRY it), you could capture with iMovie and import the clips into FCP.

    HD Log can handle both DV and color based scene detection, as well as TC breaks. It can also do this from QT file, FireWire connection or analog video feed. http://www.imagineproducts.com/hdlog.htm

    Video logging is just the beginning…

    Hello,

    There is a cheap tool for this (for FCP exclusively):
    Scene Detector
