This is a video on how to use the scene change detection mechanism
in SpeedGrade CS6.
We're going to use it to actually bring in just one large clip
that has edits, but we're assuming we're not getting an EDL for it
or anything else that will allow us to put it into smaller pieces
that allow for shot matching.
So here we go.
I'm going to grab something from the SpeedGrade desktop here,
and just really go through this.
You can see this is a QuickTime movie.
And it has edits in it, but, again, I don't have anything else that goes with it,
so it comes in as one large piece here on the SpeedGrade timeline.
I can obviously immediately start playing this back
and look at the material, but if I want to do some work on it,
refine it, then obviously it's really helpful to see this
as with original edits.
So here is a tool in SpeedGrade that allows to easily get there.
So in the timeline tab, just over here under tools,
click on scene change detect.
If you open it, it will actually immediately start doing the analysis.
And once that's done, what you're going to see is actually an opportunity
to even refine that, if necessary.
If it's something rather complicated, in terms of material, you actually might want to look
at the individual edits, but typically it's going to get most of them correctly.
And then you're going to use either one of the two options
that I'm going to show to you once the analysis is over.
But eventually you're either going to split it into clips
or you're just going to add key frames to the timeline that you can use.
That's preserving a little bit more flexibility for you.
So we're almost done here.
On a fast machine, like the one we're using, this is actually rather a quick process.
And this is what you're going to see in the interface then.
So if I just go through this, it's actually self-explaining what it does.
So whenever you see a blue bar,
this is when the analysis picked up a lot
of difference to this frame
as opposed to the one before and the one after.
So let's see if that's actually true.
I'm going to use the one that I use the most, which is split into clips.
If you look at the timeline, this is what it did already.
Let me zoom in a little.
I'm going to switch to my master view here,
and really just zoom in at any given point in the timeline.
So you can easily see that I have now individual clips to work with,
and let's just click the double check if it actually picked it up.
Oh, okay, so there is a black frame inside. That was an easy one.
This one, let's see.
Yeah, lens flares.
So it does actually a nice job,
and you have an easy way to work with this project,
even though we didn't have any information from an NLE.
But it actually gets better.
You even have an opportunity to use the information that we have created with the analysis
and save out as an EDL.
So if you hit "save EDL" here in the tools section,
that's going to open a file save dialog.
You just give it a name, and that EDL can be used in any NLE
or other applications that are going to be able to work with that kind of information.
And that's just a quick overview on scene change detection
and Adobe SpeedGrade CS6.
