Remove Silences from Your Video
Learn how to automatically detect and remove silent segments to create tighter, more engaging content.
Instructions
1
Open your project in Premiere Pro
Make sure you have a sequence with at least one audio track containing speech.
2
Launch SPLICE panel
Go to Window > Extensions > SPLICE to open the panel.
3
Select a preset
Choose Podcast (natural pauses), Interview (balanced), or Vlog (punchy cuts) based on your content type.
4
Adjust sensitivity if needed
Lower sensitivity (30-40) keeps more pauses. Higher (60-70) removes more aggressively.
5
Click GO to analyze
SPLICE will analyze your audio and detect all silent segments.
6
Review the preview
Check the detected silences in the preview panel. Green = speech, Red = silence.
7
Build your sequence
Click 'Build Sequence' to create a new edited timeline with silences removed.
Pro Tips
- Start with a preset that matches your content type, then fine-tune
- Use the waveform visualization to verify silence detection accuracy
- Enable J-Cut for smoother transitions between cuts
