Based on a request over at http://aenhancers.com and using the same engine i built for Magnum this script scans the footage and removes the duplicate frames by setting hold keyframes on the layer’s time-remapping channel. I imagine this could come in handy on roto jobs where the footage has funky pulldown or any other occasion where you need to remove duplicate frames from a clip.

Magnum - The Edit Detector

This script 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!

This script takes whatever items are queued and ready in the render queue and sends them to render in the background allowing you to keep working in After Effects.
