Python script, that uses ffmpeg and ffprobe to cut silences away from videos

A tool for removing silences from a video

This tool is made to just work!

However, at the moment, it's a quick-write. Please report bugs, if you found some.

Dependencies

• python3
• ffmpeg
• ffprobe

You need to have all of those installed.

@Windows users: Make sure, that the path to ffmpeg and ffprobe are inside the "path variable". I.e. you can run both commands from the command line like C:> ffmpeg.

How to use

• Easiest command:
  python3 silence_cutter.py [your video]

• Show help and suggestions:
  python3 silence_cutter.py --help

• More Options:
  python3 silence_cutter.py [your video] [outfile] [silence dB border]

Bugs

File them directly here on Github. I'll try to fix them as soon as possible.

Comparison to other tools

As far as my reseach goes, all other tools suck:

• They don't work
• They have huge dependencies
• They have complex dependencies
• Their dependencies don't work
• They store each frame of the video as bitmap file
  (how can you even think about something like that)
