It's definitely useful - especially for yt-dlp - but I eventually had to turn it off due to the clipping being a bit wayward[1]. Often got videos where it'd clip 15-20s before the sponsor and 30s after which leads to horrible glitchy cuts. Or sometimes it would only cut out the middle 2m of a sponsor segment leading to, again, horrible glitchy cuts but with sponsorship. etc.etc.
[1] This may be because I was downloading things reasonably quickly after they went up - waiting a day or two might have got better results?
- brokenmachine 4y agoIt probably is only cutting on the keyframes. There's a flag to tell it to reencode up to and after the cuts, which would probably help a lot. Yep - https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/FAQ https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/FAQ >Video files cannot be cut at exact timestamps without re-encoding. yt-dlp does not re-encode the video by default, even when cutting is required. You can use --force-keyframes-at-cuts to force re-encoding; however, this process is slow - there is no way around this. I'd probably rather just tell it to mark the sponsor segments as chapters and then skip them manually. I think it marks them by default.
