Ratchet & ReelRefinery
Hey, I just drew up a prototype that can spot and flag redundant cuts in a video—like a little robotic editor that’s always hunting for the cleanest transition—could really use your razor‑sharp eye to make sure it doesn’t miss the real creative moments.
Sounds like a solid start, but remember a lot of “redundant” cuts are actually intentional beats. Test it against a few high‑energy scenes and watch if it flags the jump‑cut that’s meant to build tension. Also, make sure your algorithm can distinguish between a stylistic repetition and a true duplicate frame—otherwise you’ll end up flagging creative flourishes and missing the actual waste. Give it a diverse set of footage, and tweak the sensitivity until it stops calling the rhythm a glitch.
