Can you split or save scene without having to do so at the key frame?

[johnharlin]

Using AVIdemux I am trying to save a scene in a .avi video. When I try to do so I get the following warning:

"The beginning frame is not a key frame. Please move the A marker."

So by trial and error, I figured out that the double arrow icon at the bottom takes me to keyframes. The problem is that I don't want to split the scene at this particular keyframe because that frame is part of a previous scene.

Is there any way that you can split or save a scene without having to do so at the key frame?

sounds like you're working with a long gop format. avchd? if so then not directly. you would probably have to render to a lossless avi format, use it, then cut where you want and render out to the final format.

There are smart editors which will only reencode cut GOPs. VirtualDub can do that with AVI files.
