You have my empathy for this kind of sentiment. Personally this seems somewhat rare in practice. That being said I'm curious if anyone has anecdotes they can share about these kinds of things?

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 tuned if you generate a statsfile and plot the result, but

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 accuracy was so low. PySceneDetect only uses basic heu

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 detect-threshold command (not detect-content). For e

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 EDL as an ouptut format, and upon further investigation, it

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 achieves great accuracy (like fast cuts or fades), a

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 shortcomings, or weren't hackable/extensible, etc

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 are averaged, so perhaps a better weighting may impr

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 issues with PySceneDetect currently that may lea

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 hue and color). Other techniques being considered for future

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 "upsets" like this, but this does seem like a

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/PySceneDetect/issues/35 (Di

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 big castle" or something similar. I can't

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 whole. The one area where PySceneDetect does struggle with

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 output by default now, which produces significantly mo

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 Readthedocs folks to see if they have any idea why this is happ

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 prevent any unintentional interference with

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 syntax to perform something useful.
