Who Uses Cut Video Gaps to Remove Silence

Any recording of people talking collects pauses, restarts and dead air. Cut Video Gaps finds those gaps on your Mac with FFmpeg (Fast Cut) or on-device Whisper speech recognition (AI Auto Cut), lets you review every cut on a timeline, and exports a rough cut to Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro or After Effects, or as a trimmed video or audio file. Pick the workflow closest to yours.

Silence removal workflows by creator type

Which detection mode fits your recordings?

Fast Cut uses an FFmpeg volume threshold, which works well for clean single-speaker audio such as screen recordings and studio voiceovers. AI Auto Cut transcribes speech with Whisper on your Mac, so it keeps quiet word endings and natural phrasing in conversations, interviews and Hindi or Punjabi footage. The Fast Cut vs AI Auto Cut comparison covers the trade-offs in detail.

Does my footage leave my Mac?

No. Detection and export run on-device, which matters for client interviews, internal meetings and unreleased course material. Read why local processing matters for the full picture. A small account and quota check runs online.
