ArcSoft 2 manual Scene Detection

Chapter 3: Edit

Scene Detection

Scene detection makes it easy for you to break up long video clips into separate components without having to save each clip individually. The program scans the selected video file and automatically breaks it up according to changes in time or content.

When you right-click a video thumbnail in an album, you see an option called "Scene Detect." This command scans the video and breaks it up into separate video clips. The results are displayed in a separate window with new thumbnails for each clip.

Click the red thumbtack to make the window "sticky." It will remain on top of the program desktop as long as it is stuck. You can click and drag the thumbnails to the Storyboard/Timeline just as you can any other thumbnail from the Media section.

Scene detection is noted on the original thumbnails with the addition of a folder icon in the lower right. To remove scene detection, right-click the thumbnail and select "Delete Scene."
