And Or statements doesn't use generated cache.

[MilkAndBanana1]

Bug description

I generated the audio and motion cache for a video file and after not being satisfied with the results, planned on using the or statement for applying both methods. It seems that it didn't use the cache generated earlier and is now reanalyzing the motion and audio.

Is this expected behaviour?

What's your platform?

OS: Windows 10 amd64
Python: 3.10.11
PyAV: 13.0.0 (LGPL version 3 or later)
Auto-Editor: 25.2.0

What command did you use

auto-editor video.mp4 --edit "(or motion:0:02 audio:0.05,mincut=1sec)" --margin 0.02sec,0.5sec --export resolve

Comments

If this is expected behaviour, close this issue immediately.

Run your final OR/AND command to generate cache for that specific expression:

# First run - generates cache
auto-editor video.mp4 --edit "(or motion:0:02 audio:0.05,mincut=1sec)" --margin 0.02sec,0.5sec --export resolve

# Subsequent runs - uses cache
auto-editor video.mp4 --edit "(or motion:0:02 audio:0.05,mincut=1sec)" --margin 0.02sec,0.5sec --export premiere

Alternative: Prevent Re-Analysis

If you must avoid re-analysis, use individual commands instead of OR/AND:

# Option 1: Motion only
auto-editor video.mp4 --edit "motion:0:02" --margin 0.02sec,0.5sec --export resolve

# Option 2: Audio only  
auto-editor video.mp4 --edit "audio:0.05,mincut=1sec" --margin 0.02sec,0.5sec --export resolve

Why This Happens

This is expected behavior. The cache system ensures each unique analysis expression is cached separately for integrity. Component caches aren't reused in compound expressions.
