Magnum - The Edit Detector

This script automatically detects edits in footage. To use it you simply select a footage layer in a comp, set the work area to the region you’d like to find edits and tell Magnum to go to work! Magnum can then split the layer at each edit point or set layer markers where the edits are. It works very well at the default detect level, but tricky footage might need this adjusted.

looks interesting. I will give it a try on the project I'm working with right now.

Thanks.
 
Really!!!! Great! But I'm still having some issues.

I put it in my scripts folder........I can't seem to get it to pop up in my window drop down...what else do I need to do.

Forgive me if this is a painfully stupid question. Sometimes I miss the obvious.

If it's in the scripts folder you run it from the Scripts Menu (under File). If you want to have it run as an embeddable panel from the Window Menu then you need to put it in a folder called ScriptUI Panels inside the Scripts folder. I know this seems cryptic and I've already asked Adobe to make this simpler, but at the moment this is how it works.

You can also refer to this screencast for BG Renderer that shows how to install a script there: http://aescripts.com/scripts/images/BG_RendererCS3_tutorial.mov
 
Not criptic at all....just not something I would have thought of doing.

Thanks for the help, I've been dying to try this script!
 
Tested it out and it works *****ng great!

A tad slow with the processing (I'm on a quad 2.66, intel mac with 3 gigs of ram). but the wait time is worth it. For color work this is going to save me a load of time.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

And the fact that it is free. Wow. You are awesome.
