scenedetect.cfg

#
# This file contains every possible PySceneDetect config option.
#
# A config file path can be specified via the -c/--config option, or by
# creating a `scenedetect.cfg` file the following location:
#
#   Windows: C:/Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Local/PySceneDetect/scenedetect.cfg
#
#   Linux:   ~/.config/PySceneDetect/scenedetect.cfg
#            $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/scenedetect.cfg
#
#   Mac:     ~/Library/Preferences/PySceneDetect/scenedetect.cfg
#
# Run `scenedetect --help` to see the exact path on your system which will be
# used (it will be listed under the help text for the -c/--config option).

# Weight to place on each component when calculating frame score (the value
# `threshold` is compared against). The components are in the order
# (delta_hue, delta_sat, delta_lum, delta_edges). Description of components:
#  - delta_hue:    Difference between hue values of adjacent frames
#  - delta_sat:    Difference between saturation values of adjacent frames
#  - delta_lum:    Difference between luma/brightness values of adjacent frames
#  - delta_edges:  Difference between calculated edges of adjacent frames
# The score of each frame ('content_val' in the statsfile) is calculated as
# the weighted sum of all components.
