raea cut

Cut a take to the lines it says, transcribing it first, and write cuts.ts and words.json.

raea cut cuts a take under the project's media/ folder by what it says: give it the lines you want and it cuts in the pauses around each one. A take without a TAKE.words.json is transcribed first, on this machine. It writes cuts.ts (the cut) and words.json (every word kept, with its timing) beside the edit, and raea render reads both from there, so captions and cues follow the cut without any wiring.

Terminal
raea cut interview.mp4 "We started in a garage" "Now we ship to forty countries"
raea cut interview.mp4 --at 12.4-18.9 --at 31-36.2
raea cut broll.mp4 --at 4-7 --append

Usage

Terminal
raea cut TAKE "line" ... | --at A-B ... [--append]   (cuts.ts and words.json: a take under media/ cut in the pauses around each line it says, transcribed first if it has no TAKE.words.json; or at those seconds)

Headless: it needs nothing running and opens no window. Takes any number of arguments besides its flags.
