About:
auto-editor is a command-line tool that automatically edits video and audio by detecting silent sections and removing them to create tighter cuts. It analyzes media files to identify segments where audio levels drop below a threshold, then renders a new file with those pauses excised. This streamlines the post-production workflow for content creators by significantly reducing manual editing time.

Key Features:

Automatic silence detection and removal based on audio thresholds
Supports a wide range of video and audio formats via FFmpeg backend
Batch processing capabilities for multiple files
Customizable parameters for fine-tuning edit aggressiveness

Use Cases:

Removing awkward pauses and dead air from podcast recordings
Speeding up tutorial videos by cutting out typing or setup delays
Batch processing raw footage to create rough cuts for YouTube content

Alternatives:

FFmpeg – FFmpeg is a powerful media framework but requires manual command scripting for silence detection, whereas auto-editor automates this specific workflow.
Descript – Descript is a GUI-based, AI-driven editor with transcription features, while auto-editor is a lightweight, CLI-focused tool for automated cutting.
