All language subtitles for 2. Media Tab - Scene Cut Detection Media Tab Kolder Creative

As video editors,
sometimes we're not going to have access

to the original project file
or even the original media.

Sometimes you'll be handed
a finished video and it's m over your MP

for format and you'll be asked
to make changes to that.

Now, the issue with working
with a finished piece of media like that

is that you're going to have to bring it
into your timeline

and cut up all the individual clips
within that finished media

so that you can then select each one
and change it however you want.

Now, this used to be a very time
consuming task,

but thankfully DaVinci has a really cool
feature called Scene Cut Detection

that we can use to analyze our footage
and make those cuts for us.

This is a game changing feature
and is something that has saved me

so much time in my editing workflow.

So I'm excited to share this with you guys
today.

So let's jump into Da Vinci.

I'll show you guys how I do it.

So up here in my media storage,
I've located a video that I edited a while

back.

It is a 62nd video that I made for a I.

It consists of probably about 15 to

20 different clips in a 62nd time span.

And what I can do is right click on this
clip and select scene cut detection.

Now, before I do this, I just want to
make sure that I have the area

open down here in my media pool, that I
actually want to import those clips into.

So in this case,
I don't want to imported into this folder

because this is a random folder

within our big project file
that we've just imported.

So I go back to my master

and you can see that I've actually created
a separate folder here called DJI.

So let's import everything into this
folder.

Now, if you want to make a new folder,
you can simply just hit command shift end,

which is the shortcut as well in Finder

on Mac as well to create new folders
and you can name it whatever you want.

You can also just

right click and select new bin,
which will make a new bin or folder.

So let's open up that DJI folder here.

So now with that folder selected,
we can go up to our clip.

We can right
click and select scene detection.

Now we are presented with this scene
detect interface here,

and this is where we're going to be able
to see where Da Vinci thinks

that it should make cuts in our clip.

So the first thing we can do is just go
down here and select auto scene detect.

Now it's going to analyze our clip
and start making these green lines

where everything's
that the clip needs to be cut.

Now, in this case, I would say

this is a pretty easy situation for it
because all of these are pretty hard cuts.

You know, it goes from one environment
to a completely different one.

It's pretty obvious
now the length of the green lines

here is the confidence that Da
Vinci has in its

selection of where it should make cuts.

We could see at the beginning here
this first one, it wasn't 100%

confident here.

And there's two areas
that it thinks it could have cut.

So we could just move the play
head over top of that.

And we can see that that
first little green line is not accurate.

That's not actually where
the cut is supposed to be.

It's supposed to be the next one.

So what we can do is just go into our
little index here in the bottom, right,

and we can select the first one
and we can hit delete on that.

And that way
we are only left with the second one.

And that will give us just a clean cut
right there.

So be good to analyze
your entire timeline here if you want.

Most of the time, you know,
if these green lines are at the top,

that means Da
Vinci is pretty confident with it.

And it's probably right.

So once that's done,
we can go down here to bottom, right.

And simply just press add cuts to media
pool.

Now, we can see everything was added
behind this interface here.

So let's just close this.

And now we have

each one of our clips
from that finished clip imported

as their own clip, which is so awesome.

Now what we could do
is take all of this stuff, drag

it into its own timeline,
and we're back where we started.

You know, we have our finalized video,
but now each of the clips are their own

separate, isolated clip.

And we can make position scale,
you know, individual

adjustments to each one of these clips
without affecting the entire video.

This is a great option for when you're
trying to reframe your clips

after you finish them.

So let's say, you know,
you just finished a nine by 16 video

and sometimes you might not want
to reformat the entire project file.

You finish the video,
you have a finished piece of content.

You might want to just bring it back in
and do this in certain situations.

If you're just trying to put out something
quick, import all the clips as their own

individual clips and then go this route.

So one thing to note is that the media
tab is not

the only place that we have the ability
to use scene cut detection.

We can also do this later on in the edit
tab as well,

which will be learning about later on.

But the media tab is a great place
to actually do this

and sort out your media in this way.

So that scene detection,
it saves me a ton of time

in my editing workflow and I guarantee
you it'll save you a lot of time.

So I highly recommend that you start
implementing this into your workflow.
