video-edl — Traditional AI Model

Video EDL validates an edit plan and emits the segments a trim consumes, keeping each cut's authored directives attached all the way to reframing. It separates what a person decided from what a detector measured. The plan is a list of cuts, each giving start_sec and end_sec as numbers in seconds and an optional label; if a cut cannot be read, the error names which one.

Inputs & Outputs

PlanInputstring

The edit plan as JSON text: an array of cuts, each with start_sec and end_sec as numbers in seconds, e.g. [{"start_sec": 0, "end_sec": 2.5, "label": "opener"}]. A {"version": 1, "cuts": [...]} document works too.

ConstraintsInputstringoptional

Optional Video Constraint Map output. Without it no cut is cropped, because cropping on a guess is what this input exists to avoid.

SegmentsOutputsegments

Segments for Video Trim, each carrying its cut's authored directives

PlanOutputstring

The normalised plan: numbered and labelled cuts, output timecodes, and why each crop depth was chosen

Parameters

max_cutsintegerdefault 40range 1–200advanced

Upper bound on how many cuts the plan may contain. Cuts past the limit are dropped and the plan says so.

Ceiling on the number of cuts taken from the plan, in the plan's own order. Cuts beyond it are dropped rather than silently rendered, and the output document records that it happened. Default 40, which is well above the 10-12 a short actually uses.
