I’m trying to use the Scenedetect Python package to detect subtle cuts in a video. For example, I’m looking at this video:

I have downloaded the video and run the following on the mp4 file:

  --input Bruised Makeup Tutorial [fNb_-Tmxq8Q].mp4  detect-adaptive list-scenes

SceneDirect can pick up the more obvious cuts. However, there are some cuts it’s missing: for example the quick cut at around 0:05 and the blur at around 0:16. I downloaded the –stats file but it’s not clear to me how to define those cuts in a way that will capture them but avoid false positives. Any suggestions for how to do this?
