auto-editor VS ffmpeg-normalize

A few days ago I discovered a program that automatically trims the pauses from your video. This can decrease my raw footage duration by around 25%. I've used this for editing two videos so far, and this has been such a helpful tool.

Looking at the GitHub of auto-editor , I see it has a options page, and not being familiar with this app, I can see it has a pretty good display options.

auto-editor — removing silent portions from video recordings

auto-editor – Auto-Editor: Effort free video editing

Auto-Editor <--Is a command line application.

auto-editor can edit parts out based on motion and noise thresholds. I haven't found any settings I'm happy with though.

https://github.com/WyattBlue/auto-editor - to automatically remove silent portions of video recordings.

For those of us on Linux, check out https://github.com/WyattBlue/auto-editor: "Auto-Editor is a command line application for automatically editing video and audio by analyzing a variety of methods, most notably audio loudness."

However I have compiled it into a Windows binary which you can find here.Also a video I posted on using it is here.He also has a website for it here, from which you can also find a GUI version for Windows and Mac for a "donation" of $35 or more.

Have you considered using ffmpeg-normalize? I use it regularly to normalize the loudness of both mp4's and mp3's and I find it very easy to use.

You can manually adjust using ffmpeg. measure volume with ebur128 filter then change it with volume filter. There is script for it https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize but manual work is easy to do.

Have you got any scripts to share? I came across this project a couple months ago: https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize

To normalize the audio levels so that they don't get too loud or too soft. Though I wouldn't use it if you have less than 64 kbit/second/track.

Normalize Volume

I'm trying to setup [ffmpeg-normalize](https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize), and I'm actually having problems specifically with properly mastered media with quite and loud bits. loudnorm doesn't accept an lra of over 20, but some tracks have got a higher lra than that - Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is an excellent example of that, the first track fades in from silence and is supposed to be a seamless transition into the second track. But with an lra of over 20, it goes into dynamic mode, and there is then a noticable step in loudness when the track changes.
