The Scene Detect Graph
The majority of the bottom half of the Scene Detect window, to the left, consists of the
SceneDetect Graph, which shows the scene detect analysis results after you’ve clicked
theStart button.
Detection graph displays potential scene cuts
Frames that DaVinci Resolve thinks are cut points appear as green vertical “scene cuts”
ofvarious heights. The height of each scene cut corresponds to the likelihood that frame is
really an edit point, and not a swish pan, sudden jump in the motion of the frame, or abrupt
change in color or lighting, all of which can fool the scene detection algorithm.
A horizontal magenta confidence bar lets you choose the threshold of confidence required for
scene cuts to be added to the Cut List. If you drag this bar up above any shorter scene cuts of
low confidence, those lines turn gray and are omitted from the Cut List.
NOTE: Dissolves and other transitions are not automatically detected, although
dissolves most often appear as a triangular cluster of lines peaking in the middle.
