auto-editor

Record a microphone or edit video/audio with the auto-editor CLI — cut out dead space (silence, motionlessness, black frames), set the pace, make manual cuts, and render the result. Use when someone wants to capture and trim a microphone, remove silence, shorten a recording, speed through quiet parts, or otherwise edit media with auto-editor.

Export auto-editor's edit or microphone recording to a video editor (Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, ShotCut, Kdenlive), to individual clips, or to auto-editor timeline files (.v1/.v2/.v3); and import timeline/XML files to render them. Use when someone wants an editor-ready project, a preserved microphone source, split clips, or timeline files instead of a finished video.

Transcribe a media file or live microphone to text or subtitles with auto-editor's whisper subcommand, then edit by spoken content — cut to keep (or drop) sections whose subtitles match a word or regex. Use when someone wants a transcript, captions, live speech transcription, or to cut a video based on what is said rather than on loudness.

Apply actions and animations to sections of a video/audio with auto-editor — change speed, duck or fade volume, de-ess, zoom/Ken Burns, rotate/spin, draw boxes, overlay logos or picture-in-picture, and animate any of these with ramps and easing. Use when someone wants creative effects or per-section behavior rather than plain silence-cutting.
