Find Shot Changes
Identify potential cut points and scene changes within your video footage.
Scene Detector
Upload your video and optionally guide the level of segmentation needed. The Agent compares changes between adjoining frames, distinguishes likely cuts from ordinary motion, and provides context for you to confirm or correct the scene list.

Upload Your Video
Provide your video and instructions for the Agent.
The Agent will interpret your directions and prepare the output for your review.
What It Is
Finding Scene and Shot Boundaries
Scene Detector analyzes a video to identify points where significant visual changes occur, marking these as candidate scene or shot boundaries. It helps segment long footage into manageable sections.
This capability is useful for logging footage, preparing edit points, or organizing long recordings into distinct segments. It provides a structural overview of your video content.
Structure Your Video
Receive a timecoded list of candidate scene boundaries, making it easier to navigate and edit your video.
Detect Visual Shifts
The Agent analyzes visual differences between frames to pinpoint where one shot likely ends and another begins.
How It Works
Steps for Scene Identification
Provide your video and detection instructions, then review the Agent's scene timeline.
Upload Video and Scene Sensitivity Guidance
Supply your source video and any optional guidance about the level of segmentation you need, such as 'identify major scene changes' or 'find all shot cuts.'
Agent Identifies Scene Boundaries
The Agent processes your video, comparing changes between adjoining frames, distinguishing likely cuts from ordinary motion, and organizing boundary candidates by time.
Review and Confirm Timeline
Inspect the resulting timecoded scene or shot timeline. The Agent provides context for you to confirm or correct the identified scene list, allowing for adjustments to missed or extra boundaries.
Agent Capabilities
Agent's Scene Detection Actions
The Agent focuses on identifying potential scene boundaries based on visual changes in your video content.
Compares Adjoining Frames
The Agent analyzes the visual content of consecutive frames to detect significant shifts that indicate a cut or scene change.
Distinguishes Cuts from Motion
The Agent works to differentiate between a deliberate cut or transition and natural movement or camera motion within a continuous shot.
Organizes Boundary Candidates
Potential scene boundaries are compiled into a timecoded list, providing a structured overview of your video's segments.
Provides Context for Confirmation
The Agent presents the detected boundaries with sufficient context (e.g., thumbnails or timecodes) to allow you to easily confirm or correct the scene list.
Common Questions
About Scene Detection
What does the detector treat as a scene change?
The detector primarily identifies abrupt visual changes, such as hard cuts between shots. It aims to distinguish these from gradual changes or continuous motion within a single scene.
Will fast motion create false boundaries?
Fast motion or rapid visual changes within a single shot can sometimes be misinterpreted as a scene boundary. You can review the timeline and correct any false positives.
Does detection split my video?
No, scene detection provides a timecoded list of candidate boundaries; it does not split or alter your original video file. You use the timeline to guide subsequent editing actions.
What does the timeline contain?
The timeline typically contains a list of timestamps or frame numbers where a new scene or shot is detected, often accompanied by a small thumbnail image for visual context.
Can I correct a missed or extra boundary?
Yes, the purpose of the reviewable timeline is to allow you to inspect the Agent's findings. You can provide feedback to add missed boundaries or remove incorrectly identified ones.
