Scene Detector 2.0

Scene Detector tool for Apple Final Cut software allows you to find scenes in video files using optical content; it loads Final Cut Project in XML format, asks for clip to run detection on, and adds markers at scene boundaries to that Final Cut XML file.

It uses QuickTime for reading clip files, so any video file that QuickTime can handle is supported for cut detection.

It can make use of several CPU cores (user selects number of CPU threads to use for detecting scenes).

A similarity threshold and marker prefix can be set by user before scene detection is started.

User can pause or abort scene detection once it is started.

Version 2.0:

Now it can output information about scenes to HTML, CSV and 4 types of EDL files, and to "Scene Detector State" files.
Now raw video files or "Scene Detector State" files can be used for input.
Fixed a rare bug with loading of dynamic libraries that was present on systems with self-compiled libexpat (on those systems, detection didn't start at all).

Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
