If you're willing, could you try using AdaptiveDetector? It should have better defaults for handling fast camera movements a bit better. The threshold values themselves can be tune…

Awesome to see this! I actually wrote PySceneDetect, was great to see it getting some use here. Would you be willing to share what parameters you were using? I'm curious why the ac…

https://www.dvr-scan.com/ A tool I wrote a few years ago that extracts motion clips from videos, completely free and open source. I released this as a CLI-only program a few years …

Are there keyboard controls? Someone I was just playing with seemed to always lock on each "note" or "half note" exactly, wasn't sure how they were doing that.

Thanks for giving PySceneDetect a try. Can you share what you're using as the command line arguments? For detecting fades-to-black, you want to make sure that you're using the dete…

This is still relevant I think :) What you mentioned is very similar to an edit decision list (EDL [1]), of which I only learned recently. I had a feature request [2] to support ED…

Author of PySceneDetect here: Thank you all for the thought-provoking discussions, and the attention you've given my side project. There are some specific cases where PySceneDetect…

Funny you should mention that - initially home videos were what I was doing this with, as I was unable to find any existing programs that could handle them reliably (or had various…

Great idea, will give that a shot - thanks for the suggestion! :)

This is indeed correct, I'm just using HSV instead of YUV, but the primary source of information is the luma/brightness component (although currently all 3 of the HSV components ar…

Author of the program here. You are correct, the program detects shots rather than scenes, but I didn't want to give the impression that this project was related to the existing Sh…

Hi Hamuko; Would you be able to share a small sub-set of the episode, in particular the area where you're unable to detect the starting segment? (If not, no worries!) There's a few…

Author of PySceneDetect here. The current implementation does exactly what you hint at, except instead of YUV, it considers deltas in the HSV domain (specifically differences in hu…

This is definitely a good idea, and something that I'm most open to considering for a future release of PySceneDetect. Admittedly the current version does not handle single-frame "…

Currently, flashes and other single-frame events are not dealt with gracefully by PySceneDetect, although there is an open feature request for that: https://github.com/Breakthrough…

I've seen a proof of concept which combined the output of PySceneDetect with subtitle information and computer vision to allow you to do something like "go to the scene with the bi…

Author of the program here. This is definitely something that is worth while considering, although I'm not too sure if a correlation always exists between the audio and picture pat…

Author of the program here. Yes, the program detects shots rather than scenes, but I didn't want to give the impression that this project was related to the existing ShotDetect pro…

Surprisingly, this uses a fairly simple heuristic to accomplish just that (HSV deltas). I'm the author of the program, and it actually works pretty well with Pulp Fiction as a whol…

Hi genp; Just curious, what didn't you like about the output quality? What version of PySceneDetect were you using? The latest version (v0.5.x) uses ffmpeg instead of mkvmerge for …

Author of PySceneDetect here. Sorry about that, this is one thing I never figured out how to fix with the generated documentation yet. Now that you mention it, I might ask the Read…

That's an interesting point, although you have to remember airplane mode turns off all radios on the device, not only the Wi-Fi. They probably use it as a "fool-proof" method to pr…

No, only when they come out with fly-by-wireless planes. (also, when I first wrote this, I was half-kidding until I read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly-by-wire#Fly-by-wireless )…

It would be cool if you could generalize this for anything (e.g. ls ls -al). That being said, I wonder if there's any actual command-line utilities that actually use a similar synt…
