Autocut

This tools detect silence sections in videos and create a FcpX timeline with the video and audio cut accordingly.

Note

It does not suppress quiet sections, it only cut them and separate them on a second video track.

Usage

Two versions are available:

👨‍💻 CLI

autocut-cli [-h] [--audio-file AUDIO_FILE] [--min-length MIN_LENGTH] [--margin MARGIN] [--threshold THRESHOLD] input_path

• audio-file: Override audio tracks used for silence detection and timeline cuts. Can be used multiple times.
• min-length (default=1.0): The minimal duration of a quiet section in seconds.
• margin (default=5): By how many frames non-quiet cuts are extended. Prevents sudden audio cut.
• threshold (default=-60): At which Db level a section is marked "quiet". Should always be negative.

🎛 GUI
