How would you get it to cut the clips evenly?
Do you mean evenly spaced throughout the video? Or how do I make the individual clips themselves?
i think he meant, how would you get it to cut clips at the beginning and end of tricks
Oh I’ve had that part figured out from the beginning. I’m using this tool called ffmpeg which can manipulate videos in all sorts of ways.
It has a feature called scene detection which can detect changes in scenes and chop up videos. The only clips it doesn’t do well with are fade transistions and clips which have a photographers flash going off.
The difficult part is being able to select a decent representation of 6 clips from those chopped up clips as picking totally random clips might not yield a “good” game. For example could pick extremely obscure clips etc which is why I was asking if that would be acceptable.
