Smart Scene Cut for Mac

Smart Scene Cut is a video editing technology designed to capture video highlights. It is mainly utilized during the rough-cut phase to intelligently identify, segment, and extract key moments, elements, and objects from lengthy videos. The extracted clips can then be chosen and added to the main timeline for editing, enabling users to quickly produce short videos.
