Detect scene cuts, refine frame-accurate edit points, and export clean EDLs for Resolve, Premiere Pro, Avid, Final Cut Pro, Baselight, and Flame. CutDetect is a focused macOS tool for editors, assistants, finishing artists, and post-production teams who need a fast way to find hard scene cuts in a reference video and turn them into a usable edit decision list. Open a video, analyze it, review the detected cut points on a visual timeline, make any needed adjustments, and export a CMX3600 EDL that can be used in professional editorial workflows. CutDetect is designed to do one job cleanly: help you turn a flat reference movie into a structured list of cuts. Key features: Automatic hard cut detection for reference videos Native macOS video handling using Apple AVFoundation Built-in video preview with transport controls Editable timeline with visible cut markers Frame stepping for precise review Previous/next cut navigation Manual cut editing Add cuts at the playhead Remove nearby cuts when reviewing results Timeline zoom controls for detailed inspection CMX3600 EDL export Timecode-based cut list generation Recent path and export setting persistence Sandboxed macOS App Store build Local processing on your Mac CutDetect is especially useful when you have a finished or reference video but need a cut list to support conforming, comparison, review, or downstream editorial work. Typical workflow: Open a reference video. Click Analyze Cuts. Review detected cut markers on the timeline. Step frame-by-frame where needed. Add or remove cut points manually. Export a CMX3600 EDL. CutDetect supports media formats available through macOS AVFoundation. Version 1 focuses on hard cuts and non-drop-frame CMX3600 EDL export. Whether you are rebuilding an edit from a reference file, checking cut points, preparing material for a conform, or creating a reference cut list, CutDetect gives you a simple, purpose-built workflow without a heavyweight editing interface.
