I use the script cleanvid to get the precise timestamps of swear words in a video and mute them. Unluckily, as confirmed by the ffmpeg developers, the script's solution generates audio artifacts in the output.
An option to get around this is to generate an edl file with the --edl flag. This generates an MPlayer .edl like the following:
0.0 0.420 1
509.0 509.460 1
623.3 623.900 1
632.2 632.640 1
657.5 657.840 1
858.4 858.780 1
894.3 895.020 1
905.1 905.760 1
909.8 910.020 1
974.0 974.100 1
991.8 992.780 1
1127.4 1127.960 1
1189.0 1189.400 1
1224.7 1225.120 1
1437.9 1437.920 1
1454.0 1455.080 1
1538.9 1538.960 1
1544.8 1545.060 1
1552.3 1552.540 1
1554.8 1555.000 1
1563.2 1563.540 1
1569.5 1569.820 1
1578.5 1578.740 1
1581.6 1581.860 1
1589.1 1589.320 1
1598.0 1598.320 1
1599.0 1599.180 1
1606.0 1606.300 1
My goal was to import this in a video editor in order to render a video wuth the censored portions. Unluckily this format seems to be unique to MPlayer and as such it does not work with any of the players. Because of this, I wanted to know if there was any way to convert this into a CMX 3600 .edl in order for me to use it, for example, in DaVinci Resolve.
Is there any way to achieve this?
I tried to use OpenShot and DaVinci Resolve to import the edl, and none of them worked. I even tried to ask ChatGPT to convert it, but it resulted in random cuts in the video section
