Scene Detection

Here we look to see what open source software there is out there for automatic detection of scene changes in video segments.

The following software projects seem to be reasonable maintained: - PySceneDetect - Davinci Resolve

Scene detection generates an EDL, which can then be used to cut a video into smaller clips.

Scene cut detection can be "greyed out" - if you select the "Media View" and then find the original clip - it should be available - basically it is touchy - the scene cut detector only works from material that is not in the media page yet..."

You can then export an EDL, or use built in features to cut a large video into smaller clips.
