Process audio and auto add cuts or markers for claps and long pauses #96

Closed menip closed 3 years ago

Feature proposal

Highlighting of "claps" and "significant" pauses. This would also make it trivial to jump between these markers via keyboard shortcuts. This may help speedup workflow.

Implementation for most cases should be trivial, but not sure how edge cases would be approached: audio that is either constantly loud or soft. Normalization I suppose.

I looked into this a year ago and I think not:

As someone who edits almost daily I feel it'd be one of these "cool but not very useful" features.

With compressed audio... there's no reliable way to do it. Playing with frequency ranges is the only option in Blender as there's no audio processing.

I at least won't implement this. That's too much work for something I don't see working well in the end. But if somebody else wants to they're welcome to try.

Closing, no longer think this is good suggestion.
