It provides both a command-line interface and a Python library for detecting fast-cuts and threshold-based fades, then automatically splitting videos into separate clips. The tool bundles opencv-python for computer vision and relies on standard dependencies like numpy, click, and tqdm.\n\nYou can use it as a standalone CLI tool (e.g., `scenedetect -i video.mp4 split-video`) or import its Python API to integrate scene detection into larger workflows. The package is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions (3.10\u20133.13), and offers variant distributions: the standard package bundles opencv-python, a headless variant uses opencv-python-headless for servers, and a core-only variant lets you bring your own OpenCV build.","worth_installing":"Yes. Active maintenance, low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, permissive license, and a clear use case for video analysis. The CLI is immediately usable and the Python API is straightforward. Choose the standard package for desktop use, scenedetect-headless for servers, or scenedetect-core if you need to manage your own OpenCV variant."},"id":"scenedetect","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/scenedetect","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/scenedetect.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/scenedetect/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-22","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"scenedetect","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Video scene cut/shot detection program and Python library (bundles the opencv-python OpenCV variant and the scenedetect CLI)."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1117991,"position":4346,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.1"}
