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! 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.

These are versions of the Compify 720×486 script that work with Footage sources instead of Comps.
Basically this script takes any Footage Items that are selected in the Project window, creates new 720×486 D1 Comps, adds and resizes the footage item to fit and gives you the option to add them to the Render Queue. Also allows adding custom prefix and suffix to control the naming of the new items (vs. AE’s automated naming scheme that’s not always ideal)
The w_preset script (AE7 only) additionally allows you to add an animation preset.
