What's New

Units are now handled in a uniform fashion.

• Invalid numbers now only trigger errors, not crashes.

Here's a list of all the units and their aliases in this version:

 - Percent:       %

Other Stuff:

• Backwards range (example --cut_out 30,-50) now works, is tested, and will be added to documentation soon
• Fixed crash related to URL inputs when neither a cookiefile path or an archive path are specified

In The Future

Add more documentation, both internal and external, on what units do, where you can use them.

Tip: you can use the percent unit in any float_type option.

Dev Stuff

SponsorBlock also works with local files, just add use the --id option to set the YouTube id.

auto-editor "videos/4 Incredible Instances of Lost Media in Speedrunning.mp4" --id kG7qmYHeB2c --block sponsor 

New option. --ffmpeg_location, this does exactly what it says it does.

auto-editor example.mp4 --ffmpeg_location /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg.exe

Various youtube-dl options that were too useful to be included in auto-editor.

• --limit_rate Limits how fast auto-editor will download online videos. Helps make sure you don't get throttled or blocked by the server.
• --download_archive Write down the urls to videos you've downloaded. If used, prevents auto-editor from downloading the same video twice.
• --cookies Read and write browser cookies. Helps the server track you and make sure you don't get throttled or blocked by the server.
