They say silence is golden, but not in your videos (at least sometimes)! That’s why we’re streamlining how you edit.

This update automatically detects 2+ second silences at the beginning and end of your videos, letting you remove them in a single click.

Have a webinar recording with a nice chunk of silence at the top? Or a product demo with a friendly webcam that captures you looking for the “stop recording” button? We’ve been there. That’s why we’ve got these crucial edits covered with more to come.

How does it work?

For any video you edit in Wistia, we’ll automatically scan for silences longer than 2 seconds at the beginning and end of your timeline.

✂️ To remove them: Head to “Suggestions” and click “Apply”

For recordings and live events made with Wistia, we’ll ⚡️automatically remove the silences⚡️ as soon as you bring them into the editor—saving you an extra click! (Don’t worry, you can always undo, un-trim, or revert to the original at any time).

We hope you give it a try and we’d love to know what you think!

Stay cool,

-Team Wistia
