Importing video and splitting scenes

rbq wrote on 11/5/2003, 11:12 PM

I am having to import video into Vegas that was captured with another program, due to dropped frames in 'Vegas. The imported video is coming in as an .avi file. How do I split the scenes for editing? Is there an easy way to do this or will I have to do all of this manually?

You might want to try Scenalyzer. Not sure if this splits up a pre-existing AVI file but it can split clips "based on opticial content".

You'll need to use the "old" free version of Scenalyzer. It is designed to split scenes based on either timecode (for DV files) or based on "optical" changes (by actually analyzing the video content). This old freeware program may not work on NT/2000/XP, however.

The new version doesn't do that? Their web site at least implies it will.

"ScLive has automatic scene splitting while capturing - each scene is written into its own .avi file in realtime.
It splits the scenes based on the recording-time embedded in the DV-streams or based on optical content. "

The "old" version does it on already captured files.

The "new" version does it WHILE capturing.

I'm pretty sure there are two versions of Scenalyzer. Scenalyzer Live is the one that splits on capture, Scenalyzer (the free one) is the one that works optically. It should be fine on late model OS's.
