Cut Your Time and Effort With Automatic
Trim of the Desired Scene

Filmora's Smart Scene Cut uses advanced algorithms to analyze video content, detecting key elements like faces, objects, and changes in factors like motion, lighting, and audio that typically indicate new scenes. Upon detecting scenes, Filmora automatically generates separate clips for each, making it easier for users to manage and edit their videos. This is particularly useful when working with a long video that contains multiple scenes, as it solves problems users face when they have to manually go through, split, and choose parts of the video material.

Extract Scenes Featuring People From Video

Identify and extract the person in the video, and with Smart Scene Cut, extract scenes containing that person automatically. This powerful technology can detect faces, bodies, and motions and slice your video into scene clips featuring people.

Cut Highlight Scenes From Video

When selecting the Highlight Scene in Smart Scene Cut, Filmora will automatically find and cut the best scenes of your video based on either semantic or visual highlights. For semantic highlights, it uses detection capabilities like speech-to-text (STT) to analyze your video and pick the most interesting and shareable moments, creating a captivating story. For visual highlights, it examines factors such as color, texture, and composition to find the most eye-catching frames and combines them into an engaging sequence.

Get Scenes Featuring Specific Objects From Video

Try the Custom Scene, and see how it is in the director's seat! Select the object from your video that you want to spotlight, and let Filmora work its magic by detecting and cutting scenes featuring that object. It was never easier to create content that focused on what you wanted the most.

Film and Video Adaptations and Remixes

"After watching the film "xx 1&2", I really enjoyed it and wanted to create a separate short video featuring the story of Henry and Elena to share on social media. When I got the original footage, I found that it had a total duration of 5 hours and 21 minutes. If I manually cut out the scenes with Henry and Elena, it would take a lot of time and involve repetitive work. Luckily, I had the Smart Scene Cut to jump in, and with a simple selection of the characters, and in no time, I had all the perfect clips ready for editing."

"I wanted to create a video introducing Mark Zuckerberg, highlighting various stages of his life experiences and exciting stories. After gathering a large number of videos, interviews, and other materials about Zuckerberg, I realized there was a lot of unnecessary content to sift through. Thankfully, I used the Smart Scene Cut feature, combined all my clips, and let it automatically extract scenes featuring Zuckerberg based on character selection. It saved me tons of time, and I could easily add the extracted clips to the timeline for further editing. What a game changer!"

Maria

Create a Professional Looking Highlight Video

"As a huge basketball fan, I love watching games and sharing the most exciting moments with my friends. Recently, I decided to create a highlight video of a recent NBA game, but with the footage running over an hour, I immediately left the idea of manually trimming it down. Fortunately, Filmora Smart Scene Cut came to my rescue. After importing the video, I used the Highlight Scene extraction feature, which automatically divided the footage into segments featuring all the thrilling performances—impressive shots, dunks, assists, and more. Once that was done, I easily added the highlights to the timeline for post-editing, like adding background music, transitions, and text descriptions. It made the whole process smooth with amazing results, and all my friends were thrilled with how good I am at video editing."
