Automatically detects edits in footage. To use it you simply select a footage layer in a comp, set the work area to the region you’d like to find edits and tell Magnum to go to work! Magnum can then split the layer at each edit point or set layer markers where the edits are. It works very well at the default detect level, but tricky footage might need this adjusted.

There is a built-in help.
