How to remove silence from a video automatically
Cutting silence out of a video by hand means scrubbing through the timeline and making dozens of cuts. Pausiq does it automatically: it detects every silent part of your video and removes it in one click, and you can still check and adjust each cut.

Step by step
- Go to pausiq.app on your computer or phone. There is nothing to install.
- Drop your video into Pausiq, or tap to choose it from your files or photo library.
- Press Remove pauses. Pausiq finds the silent parts and cuts them. Move the Cut strength slider to remove more or less.
- Watch the preview. If a cut is too tight, restore it or drag the edge of the clip.
- Export the edited video as MP4 or MOV. On iPhone, choose Save to Photos.
How Pausiq decides what is silence
Pausiq measures the loudness of your recording and treats the quiet stretches between words as silence. The Threshold setting decides how quiet "silent" is, and Auto picks a sensible value for your recording. Loud parts of the waveform are always protected, and Pausiq leaves a short natural pause so speech never sounds rushed.
Tips for the best result
- Record in a quiet room. Pausiq removes silence, not background noise, so steady noise can hide the pauses.
- Start with the Natural cut strength, listen, then go stronger if you want a faster pace.
- Turn on punch-in zooms to hide jump cuts in talking-head videos.
- Keep your original file. Pausiq never changes it, and you can always start again.

Does Pausiq remove background noise?
