Auto Scene Detection is an AI-Powered algorithm used to check the cuts/effects in a video. Auto scene cut detection checks the video frame-by-frame and it picks the sudden changes in the frames by pixel contrast difference between adjacent frames and adds a cut point to that frame and it continues till the end of the video.
