What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps editors and agents detect silences in audio/video clips when fixed dB threshold methods fail due to inconsistent background noise, room changes, or intermittent ambient sounds, producing reliable trim specifications per clip.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Per-clip visual analysis: Generate chunked waveform images and determine a noise-floor baseline for each clip rather than using a global threshold.
- Robust silence detection: Identify sustained speech vs flat/noise regions, merge short gaps, and avoid cutting transient spikes or mid-word dips.
- Seamless integration: Convert visual boundaries into timestamped keeps and call crop_spec to produce trimmed spec JSON for downstream steps like rm_fillers or concat.
- Use Case: Recover clean speech regions from multi-clip recordings where fans, music, or mic placement changes make automated threshold trimming unreliable.
Quick Start
Use waveform-silence to generate waveform images for each clip, visually identify silences relative to each clip's noise floor, and output crop_spec trim specs for cropping.
