Scene Detection in Filmora (Windows)

Scene Detection is an advanced editing feature offered in Filmora, which can be used to automatically split a film into basic temporal segments by detecting the transitions between shots in a video. It will greatly facilitate your job if you don't want to edit your video frame by frame but would rather quickly edit short clips in a large piece of video.

The steps below will show you how to use automatic scene detection in Filmora.
