About RoughCutter
RoughCutter is an open-source auto-editing toolkit for the command line. It cuts silence, detects scenes and assembles timelines from EDL rules you define in a YAML file, then hands the result to your editor of choice. There's no UI to outgrow and no subscription — just a well-documented pipeline that slots into render farms and automation scripts. An active community maintains presets for the common podcast and lecture formats.
