Instead of cutting out the silence spots, why not speed them up? If the presenter is silent b/c they are drawing something on the board (like in a lecture), then the result will feel a choppy.
- shahahmed 5y agothat's a good idea. we'll try adding that, but i still think there are a lot of situations of "dead air," like between takes or long pauses.
- pmoriarty 5y agoIn many cases, speeding up the entire video is even better. I've been watching a lot of educational videos and lectures on 2x or even 3x speed, thereby saving a ton of time. Of course, when the entire video is watched at 2x speed, the pauses can comfortably be shown at 5x speed or even faster.
- itake 5y agoIMHO, the speed up should be user controlled. Not everyone's first language is English and can tolerate higher rates of communication.
- nashashmi 5y agoYes. Varying types of silence each require its own method of cutting like speeding up,or putting a graphic in the middle.
