Cut All Tracks AND Keep Gaps!

Daft Craft

Using the trial of Recut, it is SO CLOSED to being perfect for what I need, but the fact that I can't cut ALL of the tracks AND keep the gaps makes it JUST miss the mark. Please add this as a feature! Make the Close/Keep gaps option SEPARATE from the All Tracks/Audio Only option!

Hi, I'm not sure if I understood correctly. But so far I think you CAN actually do what you want, just do this:

Use "Cut All Tracks (default)"
At the Export tab select "Keep silent segments" (this will cut the silent segments but wont remove them).

Please let me know if this is what you wanted to do. I hope it helps!

Sergio L. Brito At first I thought this might not work, but since the silence is labeled in a different color that lets me select it specifically it actually works perfectly! Thanks!

Can you describe the workflow you’re trying to accomplish? Why would you like to keep the gaps?

Daft Craft

Jon Meyers Certainly; for my workflow, I'm editing multiple-perspective gaming videos using multicams in Premiere. The footage can be 1-2 hours long, and of course I use Premiere's proprietary multicams to make swapping visuals easier, so I can't just cut the silence in Recut and then import into Premiere.
Instead what I do currently is export the audio of the sequence to a wav, then use an After Effects script (Void silence remover) to cut the silence and keep the gaps of both the video and audio (by creating an empty composition in AE), then export this AE project to Premiere, and then copy and paste the cut silence clips OVER an uncut version of the clip, thus inverting the cuts so that only the silence is kept. I then copy and paste this "only silence is kept" version over my MAIN sequence with the multicams and use it to remove all of the silence by shifting it down over all my tracks, cutting them automatically.
Since I hope to one day leave the Adobe Suite, I was hoping Recut could do something similar, allowing me to use the "cut silence keep gaps" version of my video and audio as a sort of slicer for my more complex sequences in Premiere Pro or Davinci Resolve.
