The Video Split Script

A script written in typescript that will use ffmpeg to split a video file into multiple clips based off of either the chapter marker embedded into the video file or an analysis and detection of a visual hard cut. This is very useful for old home video footage that you may need to split up in various ways or in breaking down large video files into smaller clips to edit them into something else.
