StreamWID

Free open-source desktop video utility

Remove speech pauses without losing control.

StreamWID is free and open source. It helps creators detect silence with FFmpeg, inspect every section in an editor-style timeline, and export cleaner videos, pause clips, EDL markers, or CSV cut lists.

Practical editing tools

Designed for careful pause review, not blind auto-cutting

Multi-clip analysis

Add clips by browsing or drag and drop, then analyze one selected clip or all loaded clips.

FFmpeg silence detection

Use silencedetect with adaptive suggestions or manual threshold, minimum pause, and padding controls.

Timeline review

Inspect detected speech and pause sections with thumbnail rails, synced frame preview, and audio playback.

Intentional selection

Click rows to decide what stays and what is removed, with bulk selection for speech or pause sections.

Creator-friendly exports

Export cut video, pause-only clips, EDL markers for direct cuts in DaVinci Resolve, or CSV cut lists for further editing.

Frame-accuracy notes

Choose re-encoding for accurate cuts or faster stream copy when keyframe-level cuts are acceptable.

How it works

A simple workflow for podcasts, tutorials, and recorded streams

StreamWID keeps the editing decision visible. The app finds likely pauses, but the creator reviews and confirms the cut list before exporting.

  1. Add one or more video clips.
  2. Pick a preset or tune threshold, minimum pause, and padding.
  3. Analyze with FFmpeg and review the timeline.
  4. Export the cleaned video or editing markers.

Before you export

For best results, review the detected pauses on the timeline, keep a little padding around speech, and choose the export mode that matches your editing needs.

  • Use re-encoding when you need more accurate cuts.
  • Use stream copy for faster exports when keyframe-level cuts are acceptable.
  • Export EDL markers to apply direct cuts in DaVinci Resolve and continue post-processing there.

Built with Avalonia and .NET 8 for Windows, Linux, and macOS

StreamWID is intended as a cross-OS desktop application. FFmpeg, FFprobe, and FFplay must be available in PATH so the app can analyze audio, generate previews, and render exports consistently across supported operating systems.
