Once you’re finished editing, you can click the export button to export your video and have it ready for whatever platform you’d like to upload to. With Smart Cut, you can adjust the sensitivity by multiple levels of granularity to make sure you’re cutting out the different silences within your video - the white noise, silences between dialogue, and background sounds, without cutting out your voice.Īfter you remove the silences with Smart Cut, you can further edit your video by trimming the sections of your video to remove any mistakes or irrelevant content to make sure your video is engaging and smooth for your viewers.

Once your video has been uploaded, you can use Kapwing’s Smart Cut tool to identify all of the silences within your video and remove them. To get started, record or upload a video into the editor. The edits happen in real time and the silence threshold can be adjusted to best fit your needs. The first of its kind in an online video editor, Smart Cut allows you to take any video and remove silences instantaneously in just two clicks. Smart Cut by Kapwing is a brand new way to edit your videos online. I also tried to kind of "compress" the exported video with a software HandBreak as some had recommended online, but I still get a file of around 660MB.Whether you’re creating long-form content for YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, or short-form content for TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, being able to quickly remove the silences in your video makes the creating process much easier. After exporting it using default Shortcut settings I get a 805MB mp4 file, that is more than doubled in size, even disregarding the fact that this video is 7 minutes shorter now. Then I import it to Shotcut, cut it into a few splits and delete some of them, so the resulting video is about 22 minutes long. VLC gives these details about the video file. The downloaded mkv file is 29:11 minutes long and 389MB on disk. I downloaded the video from Youtube with a command line tool called youtube-dl.

I googled around but didn't get a clear clue, so any information is welcome.


I am new to the video editing realm, I wonder about the huge file size from video editing software like Shotcut and iMovie exporting.
