Cut silences

Remove dead air. Automatically.

Pluged AI detects silences, pauses and filler gaps, then tightens the timeline so interviews, podcasts and talking-head clips move faster.

Cut the silences and keep this interview natural.

Result

A tighter timeline with editable cuts.

The pain

Dead air makes good clips feel unfinished.

01
Viewers feel every pause before the next idea.
02
Manual waveform cutting is slow and easy to overdo.
03
Captions and timing need to survive the cleanup.
How it works

Three moves. One edit.

01
Import your raw video

Open Pluged AI and drop in your unedited footage — interviews, podcasts, webinars, vlogs, talking-head recordings. Any length works.

02
Type 'cut silences'

Ask the AI agent to 'cut silences' or 'remove dead air'. It analyzes the audio waveform and automatically removes every gap below the speech threshold.

03
Adjust and export

Scrub the timeline to review the cuts. If anything was clipped too tight, undo and fine-tune individually.

Why it works

Built for the edit you searched for.

Waveform-based detection

Detects silence based on actual audio levels — not just long pauses. Removes 'um', 'uh', and breathing gaps that drain energy from a video.

Fully undoable

Every cut is an edit on the timeline — not a destructive export. If a cut was too aggressive, undo it or tweak the threshold.

Works on any length

From a 60-second TikTok to a 3-hour podcast. The agent processes the full file and trims proportionally.

Pair with captions

After cutting silences, add captions in the same session. The agent recalculates timing on the tightened edit automatically.

Great for interviews

The most common use case: paste in a raw Zoom or Riverside recording, cut silences, get a clean edit in under 2 minutes.

No download required

Runs in your browser, so you do not need an export-then-reimport cleanup workflow.
