scenedetect-headless 0.7.1.dev0

Video scene cut/shot detection program and Python library (bundles the opencv-python-headless OpenCV variant and the scenedetect CLI; for servers without GUI libraries).

---

Documentation: https://www.scenedetect.com/docs

Github Repo: https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect/

Install: pip install --upgrade scenedetect (or scenedetect-headless for servers)

Packages: scenedetect (CLI + opencv-python), scenedetect-headless (CLI + opencv-python-headless), and scenedetect-core (library only, minimal dependencies, bring your own OpenCV variant). All provide the same scenedetect module – install only one.

PySceneDetect is a tool for detecting shot changes in videos, and can automatically split videos into separate clips. PySceneDetect is free and open-source software, and has several detection methods to find fast-cuts and threshold-based fades.

For example, to split a video: scenedetect -i video.mp4 split-video

You can also use the Python API (docs) to do the same:

from scenedetect import detect, AdaptiveDetector, split_video_ffmpeg
scene_list = detect('my_video.mp4', AdaptiveDetector())
split_video_ffmpeg('my_video.mp4', scene_list)
