AutoTrim (for After Effects)

Written by ChatGPT - AutoTrim is a new script for After Effects that can automatically cut footage based on timestamps and sequence it into a shorter video. Say you've been asked to cut some 30 second highlights out of a 2 hour long video, this script can do it in SECONDS!

This is an AI generated script, and is therefore available as a name your own price product.

Watch the full video to understand how to use the script and what it does.

Timestamps have to be in the following format:

hh:mm:ss:ff

hours : minutes : seconds : frame number

CHECKLIST

• x2 timestamps per section of cut footage (start and end)
• Separated by commas between each timestamp
• No comma at the very end of all the timestamps
• I find it best to keep the frame number at 00 for ease.

Here is an example of some timestamps that will work (assuming the footage is long enough):

00:08:24:00, 00:08:56:00, 00:15:24:00, 00:15:39:00, 00:27:24:00, 00:27:56:00, 00:44:54:00

It might not be able to handle too many timestamps at a time, so it may have to be done in sections.

To install, drop the .jsx file into the following directory:
