Remove silence from video
Detects pauses and dead air, then shows you exactly what would be cut — before you commit to anything.

How it works
Drop a video or audio file in. WavyVid analyzes the audio for pauses right in your browser.
Adjust the sensitivity and minimum pause length with a live preview — see exactly what gets cut before committing to anything.
Export once you're happy with the preview. Nothing is cut until you confirm.
When you'd use this
- You recorded a talking-head video with long thinking pauses between sentences and want them trimmed automatically.
- You have multiple takes stitched together with dead gaps in between that need cleaning up before export.
- You want to tighten pacing on a tutorial or vlog without scrubbing through a timeline manually cutting each pause.
Frequently asked questions
Will this cut into my speech?
No — cuts are padded (about 100-150ms kept on each side of a detected silence) specifically to avoid clipping the start or end of a word, and you see the full preview before exporting anything.
What if it cuts something I wanted to keep?
Adjust the sensitivity threshold or minimum pause length sliders — the preview recalculates instantly since the audio is only decoded once, so you can tune it until the cut list looks right before exporting.
Does this work on background music?
The detector looks for genuine silence (very low volume), not just quiet moments — a music bed under dialogue generally stays well above the silence threshold and won't get flagged.
Can I use this on audio-only files too?
Yes — video isn't required. Drop in a podcast recording or voice memo and it works the same way.
How is this different from a manual jump-cut edit?
Same end result, but automated — instead of scrubbing through a timeline finding and trimming every gap by hand, the detector finds them for you and shows a preview before anything is committed.
