Auto-Editor – automatically edit video and audio

Auto-Editor is an application for automatically editing video and audio by analyzing a variety of methods, most notably audio loudness.

Before doing the real editing, you first cut out the “dead space” which is typically silence. This is known as a “first pass”. Cutting these is a boring task, especially if the video is very long.

The CLI tool is published under an open source license. While there is a commercial GUI version, it’s not available for Linux.

Features include:

  • Make automatic or manual cuts.
  • Export to DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and ShotCut.
  • Additional functionality available from subcommands:
    • info – displays media information relevant to auto-editor.
    • levels – displays individual “edit method” stream values before the threshold procedure (if any) is applied. media information relevant to auto-editor. levels mainly exists to be used extensively by other programs so they can use auto-editor’s rich media analysis features.
    • subdump – displays the textual representation of subtitle streams in media files.
    • desc – displays the video’s description.
    • palet – allows you to run palet files
  • Support for GPU acceleration.
