Installation And Setup

note

The Video CutterV2 documentation is currently under development and subject to frequent updates. Changes are applied daily.

Video CutterV2, like its predecessor Video Cutter, automatically cuts contests for competitions. It offers significantly improved performance, utilizing up to 4 simultaneous threads for faster processing. Additionally, it supports FFmpeg cutting for offline recordings, enabling even greater speed.

Installation​

Loading
Once the program is downloaded, open the installation file. Installation is automatic, and once started, it will install (or replace) Cutter with the newer version that you just downloaded.

Once installation is complete, an icon will appear on the desktop.

How to start the CutterV2​

To start the CutterV2, please double-click on the CutterV2 icon on the desktop. You can also find the program by searching for 'CutterV2' in the Windows Start Menu (by pressing the Windows key on the keyboard).
After starting you have to accept the program through the firewall (first use of the program only).

Setup​

To ensure the program works correctly, a few key settings need to be configured: The program

  1. Select the Server Click the magnifying glass icon next to the server field to open a window that lists all available servers on the local network. After selecting a server, the External Id field will auto-populate with the competition code of the currently selected competition on that server.

  2. Select the JudoNet Server Similarly, click the magnifying glass icon next to the JudoNet field to open a list of available JudoNet instances on the network. Choose the relevant instance for your needs.

  3. Select the Recorders Choose one or more recorders containing the recordings of the competition by following the same steps as above. Multiple recorders can be selected if needed.

  4. Specify the Output Directory Select the output directory where the cut clips will be stored. Since the program tracks clips that have already been processed, it's recommended to define one dedicated output directory per competition.

note

If you are cutting clips after the event (post-festum), you only need a connection to a JudoNet instance, a FR Recorder connection, and the External Id field, which you can also fill manually if required.

Mode to start cutting field It is generally recommended to use Automatic mode unless you have specific requirements for manual control and you really know what you are doing.

Once all servers and settings are configured, click Start Cutting to begin processing clips.
