Definitely. Syntactic e-mail address "validation" is one of the most
useless and widely broken things on the Interwebs.  People who do
anything other than require an '@' (and optionally make you enter the
same @-containing string twice) are deluding themselves.


And don't get me started on phone number validation.  The most annoying 
thing to me, though, is sites that reject names that have an apostrophe 
in them.  I hate being told that my name, that I have been using for 
over seventy years, is invalid.


OK, now that I am started, what else?  Oh yah.  Look at your credit 
card.  The number has spaces in it.  Why do I have to remove them.  If 
you don't like them then you are a computer, just remove them.


When do we stop working for computers and have the computers start 
working for us?


If this is being voted on, pretend you are in Georgia, vote often and 
early. Best question of the century.

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.
