Okay thanks. Meanwhile, I am not tech savvy so I may not say much here.
I followed all the commands as given on the website to install auto
editor standing it on python but after rendering the XML file, I
couldn't open it with my Davinci Resolve 18. I uninstalled and
reinstalled about twice and still no success hence I uninstalled it.
I don't understand when you talk about an "XML file". Auto-editor
works on video files, or at least .mp4 files, which are not XML files.
Davinci Resolve does have some ability to interoperate with other
editors using XML in some way (according to Wikipedia,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DaVinci_Resolve) but that's a different
thing completely.
I also don't know what you mean by "after rendering the XML file"
since from what I can see auto-edit doesn't render anything.
The simplest thing that auto-editor can do is to cut out long periods
of dead space, e.g., from an mp4 file. Their documentation shows how
to do it. If it were me, I would run the example command line on a
sample mp4 file, then see what it looked like in Davinci. Is that
what you did? It should be the same video but with some dead space
removed.
(Note that I'm speaking from a place of no experience with either of
these software packages; just looking at what auto-edit claims to do).
auto-edit? Never heard of it. xml? I've written hundred of kilobytes of
it in plain old geany. I didn't know there was a special editor for xml.
Oh, there are, there are - mostly intended for document authoring, I think.
