This script generate a HTML file containing In/Out thumbnails, Timecodes and Media information for each Event of a video track.

How to use:
-Select a video track and run this script.
-Choose a directory in which to save snapshot and the html file.

Download Page.


Note: this script is to be used with cut only editing (no transition, no fade).

Rosebud, your script is excellent!!! It works for me though at the end there is an error message and the project setting isn't reset (I asume the script would do that). Error message attached. It seems like a certain file cannot be found or there's some trouble with a differing file name.

Thx for the bug report Marco,

The script should automatically open the html file.
Please, can you tell me if this happens with all your project ?
What is your browser ?

Yes, it automatically opens the html file at the end of the process.

The browser used then is Mozilla Firefox (on Windows XP Pro SP3).

I only tested with two short test projects (with AVCHD files in it - just rough cuts without any fx, fades, dissolves). I'll keep on testing with other projects and let you know if there's a difference.

I used DV project settings now and only used three generated media inside (no audio track). Same problem.

Another DV project with three dv files (including an audio track). Same here.

Well.. I don’t really understand why you get this error.
I added a try/catch instruction, so you shouldn’t get it any more.

Same link to download.

Thanks for that quick update! It now works even with restoring the orignal project settings.
