Scene Cut Detector automatically detects cuts (scene transitions) in your video and converts them into an **XML timeline you can open in Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve**
Scene Cut Detector automatically detects cuts (scene transitions) in your video and converts them into an **XML timeline you can open in Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve**.
Instead of cutting clips by hand:
1) analyze once
2) export XML
3) start editing immediately in your NLE.
### Key Features
**Cut Detection → FCP XML Export**
- Detects scene cuts and edit points, then generates an XML timeline ready to import into Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
**Pre-cut Timeline Import**
- Import a timeline with all cuts already applied, so you can jump straight into review, selects, and assembly.
**Faster Subtitle Workflow**
- A cut-separated timeline makes it easier to align subtitles to edit points, keeping captions clean across scene changes.
**Local Processing (No Uploads)**
- Runs entirely on your Mac with no cloud processing, so your media stays private.
### Supported
**Frame Rates**
- 24, 23.976, 25, 29.97, 30, 47.952, 48, 50, 59.94, 60, 119.88, 120 fps
**DaVinci Resolve**
- Export as **FCP 7 XML**, then import via **File → Import Timeline**.
- Works with both Free and Studio versions.
### Important Note
**Variable frame rate (VFR) footage is not recommended.**
- For best results, transcode VFR media to **constant frame rate (CFR)** before analysis.
### Perfect for
- Documentaries, interviews, vlogs, lectures, event videos, and more
- Anyone who wants to **reduce time-to-first-edit** on long or cut-heavy footage
- Editors who want **analyze once + import a ready-to-review timeline**
