One of my soap box rants is about Owners Manuals and user guides. Most are a direct translation from the Japanese or Mandarin.
The VS User Manual also is fairly useless as it glosses over the useful detail. (previous query about files used by VS) In this case the Multi Trim tool has two unexplained buttons, the Ad-Zapper and the Merge CF.
I suppose the Ad-Zapper relates to our overwhelming desire to eliminate commercial breaks. (Have you noticed how much longer they have become in recent months? At least one brew and a slice of toast before the programme restarts) But what is Merge CF? And how does Ad-Zapper know what is programme and what is an Ad?
Please can anyone enlighten me.

Merge CF
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

Re: Merge CF
I'm also on that soap box with you, and have been for years!
I don't want to side-track your topic, but I would like to add my personal thought to one of your sentences (above).
Had I written it, I would have phrased it like this:
"Most are a direct translation from the Japanese or Mandarin, by people who do not understand or speak the english language, fluently, and have no training as Technical Writers!"
--Just my two-cents worth.

Ad Zapper lets you search your videos for commercial intervals. Clicking this
feature extracts the commercials to the media list.
Detection sensitivity allows you to control the rate of distinguishing between
commercials.
Merge CF merges all your extracted clips so that they appear as one thumbnail in
your media list.

If they are still active in VS X? I don't know. I certainly have no use for them
