Using Scene Detection
Initiating scene detection is easy:
To open a clip into the Scene Detect window:
1 Open the Media page, and use the Media Storage browser to find and select the clip
you need to split apart. Do not add a clip you want to use scene detection on to the
Media Pool first. You need to use Scene Detection before the clip has been imported.
2 Do one of the following:
Right-click the file and choose Scene Cut Detection.
Using the DaVinci control panel, press SHIFT DOWN and DECK/REVIVAL/SCENE
onthe T-bar panel.
The Scene Detect window opens up, containing the clip you selected.
The Scene Detect Window Interface
The Scene Detect window is divided into three main areas, the viewers, the Graph, and the
CutList. Together, these controls let you analyze the movie, examine the automatically found
cuts, and manage the Cut List in preparation for sending back to your project.

The Scene Detect Viewers
A set of three viewers appear at the top of the Scene Detect window. These three viewers are
designed to make it easy to test whether the playhead in the Scene Detect Graph is on a cut
point or not. The leftmost viewer is the last outgoing frame of a detected cut point. The center
viewer shows the first incoming frame of that cut point, and the rightmost viewer shows the
second incoming frame of that cut point.
