AMCDX Video Patcher V0.3.0

Version V0.3.0 contains the most significant changes since the first release as in current Release I finally added File To File Insert-Edit.
Now you can patch video sequence replacing it with video sequence from another file.

There are not many sanity checks like fps or field order or chroma subsampling. In other words, it’s up to a user if he/she wants to replace 23.98 sequence with 29.97…

Chroma subsampling: if Target and Source files have different chroma subsampling the source video will be decoded and chroma will be up/down sampled.

Field Order: if Target and Source files have different field order the source video will be decoded and encoded back as it has the same field order (Note: If you insert interlaced video to progressive video will be encoded as progressive but without deinterlacing)

So basically on the current stage the only limitation both files should be the same resolution (later this limitation will be removed as well)

AMCDX Video Patcher

Today I decided to release the first version of the tool I work on. To be fair its more like a proof of concept but still, id love to have some feedback so decided to share it

So currently It can:

1) open and playback MOV files with ProRes encoded Video

2) decode selected rectangle, blur it, encode and record back (so you can easily blur a face or anything else you don’t like on your final video)

Its still in progress and current implementation just shared to prove couple things:
1) we can easily edit files in-place
2) if we need to edit just exact rectangle we don’t need to decode and later encode back whole frame
3) obviously instead of blur we can add any effect needed or just replace part of the frame with a new one (for example its possible to add logo)

I uploaded OSX installer to GitHub and plan to upload Windows version tomorrow:

P.S. It s still in an experimental mode so I would recommend copying a file you try to edit it

I added short Video which demonstrates how it can be used
