Thanks a million! I honestly appreciate you doing this for me. Will try it out now..

And if I want to close all the gaps left over between clips on the timeline how do I do it?

Thanks heaps Edward! I got excited when I saw your post 🙂

Could you do a small change for me please? How would I get it to trim just the
end or just the start? More importantly just the end of the clip actually.

And what would be an easy way to ‘close all the gaps’ left over between clips after running the
script?

Again, thanks so much.

Thanks!

How/where would I get such a script? I wouldn’t have the faintest idea on where to start with that.

I need the footage captured with scene detect for the sole reason of trimming 1 second from the end of each camera cut. It’s a lot easier to find the end of a camera cut when captured with scene detect ON rather than having it off. Then for the main edit I need the whole footage as 1 ‘file’ which is why I used a nested veg file in the trimmer.

In the past, I would put my scene detected clips on the timeline and render it all out as a single AVI for use in the trimmer for my main edit. I always edit using the trimmer.

What I did this time was use a nested VEG file in the trimmer instead. What I’m trying to find out is this:- Is using a nested VEG file in the trimmer which contains over an hour of footage, more CPU intensive than using a rendered out AVI file in the trimmer utilising the same amount of footage.

I’ve been having mass system slowdown and I’m trying to work out if it’s because of this large nested VEG file I’m using.

No isn’t that. I wish it was…

I can’t work out the problem. I had to copy/paste the timeline to a new project and render it out that way.

I have no idea why magic bullet is refusing to come to life during a render in its original project.. Something must be corrupt.

I can’t work out how to uninstall the SQL server!

Media manager is uninstalled but SQL server is still running..

It isn’t in ‘add rrmove programs’
