DEVIATE EDITOR
Concept
This program is meant to be a keyboard-focused clip editor for Windows and Linux. It has a minimal interface and specialized features like Valorant kill detection to help gather clips faster. These can be exported as separate videos and imported into any other video editor until I add compositor features (including stuff like automatic music sync) and a new UI in the next version.
Setup
Windows
- Click the green "Code" button on this page then "Download ZIP" and extract
- Install the latest Python 3 (enable "Add Python 3.x to PATH" in installer)
- Run install.bat once without admin

Linux
- Click the green "Code" button on this page then "Download ZIP" and extract

Tips
- [!] This is an early build so save often and report error messages in the Issues tab
- Place input videos in videos/ folder, find exported clips in export/
- Edit config.py with any text editor to change settings
- Run the editor by double-clicking timeline.py
- Make clips by placing markers on start and end points and placing an export pin in between
- When video player is focused, all mpv keyboard/mouse controls work except q/d
