Automatically Remove Silences in Premiere Pro | NO PLUGINS!

[@JasonParkerMagic]

If the "Delete" button is disabled... click the three dots button and select "Generate text-based editing transcript". Apparently there is some "static" mode you could accidentally be in.

[@justmeandm100]

It's worth mentioning, for someone like me who does voiceovers on instructional videos, if you do not want to delete the video and just delete (lift) the audio track when removing the pauses- the workaround I used was locking the video tracks on the timeline (use the lock icon on the far left portion of the timeline).

[@barbarareichart267]

Thanks so much, you saved me hours :)

[@JoshuaQuintanapr]

You can control the pause and fine tweak. Just Click the "Filter" > "Seach Settings" > "Transcript Video Options" > There you can control how short or long you want the pauses to be detected. Thanks for the tip I just did a little bit of more digging. Definitely a game changer and a way to save some money as well.

[@GavinHerman]

Thanks for sharing Joshua! I think that became a new update after I made this video. If not, I'm embarrassed I missed it!

FYI if you don't see the bulk delete option, upgrade PP to 24.1, that update brought the bulk delete option. Great tutorial btw, I've watched 10-15 other videos on this, and this is easily the best one. Saves a TON of time.

Is there a way to remove the silence only at the start and end of each clip? But for many clips at once?

Make a different sequence of each clip u want to remove silence on then when u are done you can join them into one sequence Helpful hack

Delete button doesn't work on my Premiere Pro, using the last version today.... maybe its because it's in spanish?

[@user-mo2vt6bh4r]

Same, I'm trying Japanese and it doens't work. It's faded out. I've heard a lot of people have this issue and can't find the fix

[@GavinHerman]

That’s so weird… seems like silences should be universal. Fix this Adobe!

[@miguelkubrusly]

Hey guys. I was facing the same prob, in Portuguese. I solved it by transcribing it as source (not generating a Static Script). To choose language for Text Based Editing (as language choosing dialogue box is not showed in this option), go to Preferences > Transcription. You can also set your Premiere to transcribe everything automatically, so you don't face this problem anymore. You can also generate captions and use them as marks in the timeline, as guides on where to cut. No caption, no talk. But this is a lot of work, and the first solution is highly recommended.

[@SmartRapperTV]

[@breakaway2x]

apparently they fail to highlight the important point that you need to have a subscription to adobe to do it. SMH. I'm looking for a free way to auto remove silences. Guess there isn't one and you have to just do it manually one by one. back to work.

If you’re language wasn’t listed here then I’m not sure how this feature would work unfortunately :( seems like silence removal should be universal

are you on version 24.1?

[@corymorales7007]

this is a pretty particular case but I edit for a music producer and a lot of times there are talking portions mixed in sections of just an instrumental playing. The transcription considers music with no words as a pause. so it deletes that too. If anyone does work for musicians keep that in mind ! Is there anyway to select all pauses, then deselect the ones i wanna keep in ?

[@TheFlaminShovel]

[@GavinHerman]

[@petermolvaier]

great tutorial, thanks

[@EngineeringTR]

Thank you again for the video. I am not sure whether you will get what I mean with this question: While removing silences, is there a setting in Adobe that only removes sections that are completely silent and ignores parts with any sound, even if the sound is not understandable? I tried the silence removal feature, and it ended up removing some audio parts that were in different languages. Most of this video was in one language as German, but it also has some little sections in Japanese and Chinese. It seems like it removed some non-silence parts of these sections because (probably) they were not in the primary language of the overall video and (probably) appeared the app as meaningless. Is there a way to ensure that only actual silent parts are removed?

[@daniel_brah]

Try creating a dynamic transcription using the three dots menu on the top right. If you cannot delete the transcribe or create a dynamic transcribt, this helped me: copy the footage - create a new sequenz (not duplicating) - paste footage into new sequence - create a new transcript - delete pauses

[@user-mo2vt6bh4r]

@@daniel_brah I figured it out. You can only delete pauses in the active monitor. if the content isn't in active monitor you wont be able to delete it. So just drag the clip to an empty part of the timeline delete the bits you need then drag it back

[@onurerbay7672]

Hi, great video! Is it possible to lift the silence audio without deleting the video?

[@Official_Dominatus]

This is pretty awesome! I am getting into editing for a fun hobby as I do some gaming. One thing I am looking for is this exact thing, but I still want to keep parts of the clip where there is other audio going in. Is there a feature in Premiere Pro that does this but for points in the clip there is no audio at all. I am trying to clip out silence but keep sound effects like explosions, gun shots or other noise spikes. Perhaps those plugins might have more function with that in mind?
