Smart Cutter for DV and DVB

Extracting the most important segment from a video of choice can be achieved even if you are not a tech-savvy user - you only need to rely on a specialized solution, such as Smart Cutter for DV and DVB.

It needs to be mentioned from the beginning that this solution can only be used to process some specific formats, namely: M2TS, MTS, TS, TRP, TP, MPG, MPEG, VOB, MP4, MOV and REC.

When you run Smart Cutter for DV and DVB for the first time, you might be a little bit thrown off by its confusing interface and numerous sections.

Yet, as soon as you load a video (either via drag and drop, or by manually browsing to its location) and you start experimenting with the app, the brief explanations you get when you hover your mouse cursor over buttons are bound to help.

You need to start playing the video in order to be able to choose the start and end points. You only need to press the dedicated buttons when the scene you are interested in is shown. You also get to jump to a specific moment in the clip by typing the exact hour, minute and second.

Alternatively, you can capture a certain frame and export it to PNG with a single mouse click.

A very handy feature provided by Smart Cutter for DV and DVB is its ad detection as this makes it possible for you to scan for commercials and advertisements, and skip directly to the actual movie.

This utility might take some time getting used, yet you can easily find your way around it via trial and error. You can also save the current project and continue working on it at a later time.
