Why Make AtomicEdits?

In 2020, I quit my tech job to pursue creating content on YouTube full-time. The biggest problem I had with making videos was editing/removing silence from them. (For reference, it takes 1-2 hours to edit 10 minutes of video.) I put aside 2-3 weeks in June to learn video editing technologies (WaveSurfer.js + FFmpeg) and make a proof of concept - this is the result. It's really rough around the edges, but saves me some time while editing.

Main Features

  • Automatically detect silence in the video
  • Generate silent regions based on length and loudness
  • Remove detected silent regions on export
  • Add/remove padding to silent regions

Tech Stack

  • Vue/Vuex
  • Font Awesome (icons)
  • Tailwind CSS (core UI)
  • Electron.js (desktop app)
  • WaveSurfer.js (audio wave display)
  • Fluent FFmpeg (export edited video)
  • Hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts)
