Your best take, without the dead air
Nobody records a talking video in one clean go. There are pauses while you think, ums, and the sentence you started three times. Trimming that by hand means scrubbing a timeline and cutting every gap yourself.
AI edit does it for you. It decides what is worth keeping, cuts the silences, mumbles and wrong takes, and jump-cuts the rest together, then captions it word by word.

Questions
How do I remove silences from a video automatically?
Upload your video to Sleepy Motion, turn on AI edit and generate. It cuts the silences, mumbles and wrong takes, jump-cuts what is left together and adds captions. No timeline and no manual trimming.
Does it cut filler words and mistakes too, not just silence?
Yes. AI edit decides what matters in the take: it cuts the pauses, the mumbling and the wrong starts, and keeps the parts worth keeping.
How much shorter will my video get?
It depends on how much of the take is worth keeping. A rambling 2-minute recording can come back as a clean minute, or 30 seconds.
Does it add captions too?
Yes. AI edit is part of Captions, so the cut comes back with animated captions timed to every word, either on top of the video or behind you.
Can I use my own script?
AI edit works from what is actually said. If you paste an exact script, AI edit switches off, because the script then decides the words.
Does it work with horizontal videos?
Yes. Upload vertical or horizontal footage, and get the edit back as a vertical 9:16 short or a horizontal 16:9 video.
Which plan do I need?
AI edit is on the Agency plan at $29 a month, which also takes uploads up to 2 minutes, so there is room for a full raw take.
