What's new

Strip Silence now has two right-click commands:

  • Strip Silence — runs exactly as before: reads your .strip-silence.json (or built-in defaults) and strips silence with no prompts.
  • Strip Silence Edit — opens a small settings window first, so you can adjust before running:
    • Threshold in dB (e.g. -80)
    • Head pad in ms — quiet lead-in kept before each remaining clip
    • Tail pad in ms — quiet decay kept after each remaining clip

Notes on the Edit dialog:

  • It starts prefilled from .strip-silence.json if you have one, otherwise built-in defaults.
  • Values apply to that run only; nothing writes back to your config file.
  • Leave a padding field blank to keep your current safety padding (25 ms unless your config says otherwise).
  • Esc or Cancel closes without touching any clips.

Both commands share the same detection and clearing code, and everything still runs as one undo step.

Known issues

  • If your selection starts exactly where a clip starts (no time selected before it), a few milliseconds of silence can remain at the very start of the selection after stripping. Workaround: extend the selection slightly before the clip and re-run.
