The Scene Cut Editor allows you to dynamically modify (without actually changing the source file) the way media content is played. To do this, you need to have a media loaded (Currently playing or paused Media file/DVD/etc).

You can manipulate it in the following ways:

  1. Cut:
    Dynamically remove segments of the time line so that these segments will be skipped when encountered.
  2. Jump: Create Jump points which can jump anywhere within the time line (including backwards). This way you can re-edit the chronological playback order in any way you desire (jump points have a sensitivity of aprox. 2 seconds).
  3. Audio Mute: Mute the Audio for a specific duration.
  4. Hide Subtitle: DVD Only, Hide the DVD Subtitles for a specific duration.
  5. End: End Playback (move to next track), mostly useful for DVD Playback as it allows you to play multiple DVDs in sequence, bypassing the menuing system which prevents DVDs from ending on their own.
There is one additional checkbox on the Scene Cut dialog. The "Inverse Cut" checkbox inverses the function of the "Cut" feature. Instead of selecting an area to cut from the video. When Inverse Cut is enabled, only the specified areas would play.

Similar to the Chapter Editor, a file is kept for every DVD Disc and Media file with the ".cut" extension. If such a file is encountered when Zoom Player starts to play new content it will be applied to the loaded disc or file.
