Scene Detection?
Hi, i recently got final cut pro 4.5 hd and want to know if it can do automatic scene detection. Kinda like in vegas. I know that final cut will split the video at timecode breaks but how can i make it split the files into actual scenes. Thanks

I tried the dv start/stop thing and it told me that it had no breaks but i there are breaks. I’ll try to explain it better.
I filmed a skater right, so i hit record he bails, it record again he repositions, then i start recording again and he nails it. What final cut did was put all this as one clip, when i would want those seperate. I know the Sony Vegas did this unless you told it not to, but how can i get final cut hd to do this

Start stop does not work on the breaks of your tape, it works with the metadata of the internal clock of your dv camcorder. If you have a clock on your camcorder, set it, and make sure it works. Otherwise, FCP will not automatically detect when you hit the record button to start or stop.

Hm….that really really sucks, cause it could have saved alot of time. Any other way? I have like a full tape of it. Thanks
Also, i might know why, i had the raw footage on a computer, and took it off and put it on this one….but i’m suprised final cut can’t do just a scene detection just by recognizing a cut rather than looking at the timecode….but yea any other possible way?

With what system did you digitize the footage originally?

catdv http://www.catdv.com will analyse a file and give a log depending on scene changes… they have a demo available i believe…. should do what you are looking for

HD Log is also available. It can scene detect directly off of a tape or from a QuickTime file.
