Auto-Editor is a command line application for automatically editing video and audio by analyzing a variety of methods, most notability audio loudness.
Before doing the real editing, you first cut out the "dead space" which is typically silence. This is known as a "first pass". Cutting these is a boring task, especially if the video is very long.

Change the pace of the edited video by using --frame_margin.
