NAME

sreview-cut - cut a talk out of the raw recording data

SYNOPSIS

sreview-cut TALKID

DESCRIPTION

sreview-cut performs the following actions:

  • Look up the talk with id TALKID in the database

  • From the raw files, extract the amount of video that, according to the schedule, is part of the talk of which the event was given as the main video (with adjustments as specified by the reviewer, if any, applied).

  • Extract the 20 minutes just before and the 20 minuts just after the main video into the pre and post videos.

  • Apply A/V sync correction values if any exist.

  • Perform audio normalization, if enabled in the configuration

  • Extract sample videos from all three channels into preview audio streams, if enabled in the configuration

  • Move the talk to the next state.

sreview-cut will never re-encode the original video, and will re-encode the original audio of the main video at most once, after audio normalization if that was enabled in the configuration.

Any re-transcodes should be performed by sreview-transcode (for production) and/or sreview-previews (for review previews)

CONFIGURATION

sreview-cut considers the following configuration values:

workdir

The location where any temporary files are stored. Defaults to /tmp, but can be overridden if necessary. These temporary files are removed when sreview-cut finishes.

dbistring

The DBI string used to connect to the database.

audio_multiplex_mode

The way in which the primary and backup audio channels are encoded in the video. Can be one of:

stereo

The primary audio is in the left channel, and the backup audio is in the right channel.

stream

The primary audio is in the first audio stream (a mono stream), and the backup audio is in the second audio stream (also a mono stream).

none

There is only one audio stream, and if it is a stereo channel then the right channel is not the backup audio.

inputglob

The location of the (raw) input files. These files should have been put into the database by way of sreview-detect

pubdir

The location of the intermediate files that are published to reviewers.

accessmethods

The SReview::Files implementation used to access the input files and/or the intermediate files.
