How it works
Drop a video or audio file in. WavyVid analyzes the audio for pauses right in your browser.
Adjust the sensitivity and minimum pause length with a live preview — see exactly what gets cut before committing to anything.
Export once you're happy with the preview. Nothing is cut until you confirm.
Podcast recordings tend to have more, and more variable, pauses than scripted video — thinking pauses, breath gaps, the moment before someone jumps back in. The Podcast preset starts from sensible defaults for that pattern; fine-tune the sliders if your recording runs quieter or louder than typical.
Frequently asked questions
What's different about the Podcast preset?
It's tuned to be a bit more aggressive about cutting than the other presets, since podcast dead air tends to be more frequent and less intentional than pauses in scripted or interview content.
Can I export the trimmed audio only, without video?
Yes — if you upload an audio file, the output stays audio-only. Video is only involved if you upload a video file.
How does this compare to Descript's silence removal?
Same core idea — detect and trim silence automatically — but free, with no account, no watermark, and nothing ever uploaded to a server.
Should I clean noise before or after cutting silence?
Either order works; many people cut silence first (shorter file, faster subsequent steps) then clean noise, but there's no functional difference in the final result.
