How it works
Shot boundary detection is a more precise form of scene detection that identifies the exact frame where transitions occur. It distinguishes between different types of transitions: hard cuts (instantaneous change), dissolves (gradual blending), fades (gradual transition to/from black), and wipes. In post-production of AI-generated video, accurate shot boundary detection enables precise editing, automated thumbnail generation from the best frame of each shot, and analysis of pacing and rhythm across a sequence.
