How to use AutoCut Silences V2?

AutoCut Silences V2 allows you to master its functionality in a few simple steps. Follow this guide to learn how to use AutoCut Silences V2 efficiently.

Step 1: Preview and Noise Level

Noise Level

The noise level is crucial for detecting silences. Any sound below this level will be considered silence.

Use the Premiere Pro audiometer and AutoCut's preview to precisely adjust the noise level.

Preview

The preview allows you to visualize the effect of your settings before running AutoCut Silences on your edit. To generate the preview, simply click the "Generate Preview" button.

Red sections indicate the silences that will be removed, and green sections show the discussions that will be retained.

Step 2: Silence Durations

Define the silence and speech durations to keep or remove.

"Remove silences longer than": Set the minimum length (in seconds) of a silence to be removed. If the silence is shorter, it will be kept.

Use this setting to avoid removing very short silences.

"Remove noises shorter than": Set the minimum length (in seconds) of a sound to be kept. If the sound is shorter, it will be removed.

This setting helps exclude very short noises like a cup being placed or an accidental bump on the microphone.

Step 3: Paddings

Set paddings around each cut for a more natural edit.

Paddings help to avoid cutting off the beginning or the end of a sentence, making the video edit smoother.

Step 4: Silence Handling

Choose how to handle the detected silences. We recommend using the "Remove Silences" option, which is suitable for most edits.
