Silence Cut

Skip silent parts in YouTube videos automatically

What it does

Silence Cut is a Chrome extension that detects and skips silent sections in YouTube videos. It analyzes audio levels in real time, and either jumps over or speeds through quiet parts. You can choose between skip and speed-up modes (2x–16x), adjust silence detection sensitivity, and enable music-only section detection. A built-in volume meter shows audio levels in the player, and a stats tracker displays how many skips occurred and how much time you saved per session.

    Edit videos faster by automatically removing silences2022 · kapwing.com · ▲171

    Our team is filled with technologists and creators, and when we record and edit videos, 80% of the time is spent chopping up the video, removing silences, and picking the right takes. So we decided to build a tool that did that for you — or at least get you there most of the way! Our initial implementation is somewhat naïve and uses a user configurable silence threshold that just reads in volume levels. In the future, we’d like to use a frequency-based approach that focuses on the human voice. We’re also open to ideas, so let us know if you have any!

    YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads2023 · ▲713

    Hi HN! Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.

  • Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else: - Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last…
