Converting deldupped frames.txt to Trims?

[Mephesto]

I have a video taken with a faulty DV camera that duplicated some frames in many parts of the video. The audio is blanked out in the jerky parts so removing duplicate frames is needed to fix audio. Problem is, DeDup does not affect audio, so I was wondering if there was a way to autoconvert the dedup log file to Trims?

It's sort of annoying how Trim does the opposite of its name and KEEPS frames rather than kill, which makes this even more complicated.

Anyone feel smart enough to scheme up a way to do this in excel or any advanced Find+Replace text editor?

CutFrames()

Good find jagabo, I have the script ready but I just noticed I can't do CutFrames(238,238)+CutFrames(241,241) like with trim, and if I do them in separate paragraphs, cutting frame 241 will really cut 240 since 238 is gone.

What's next?

You need to reverse the cut list.

Oh. Derp.
