Parameters Guide

Silence Threshold (dB)

• -45 dB: Good starting point for most recordings
• -60 dB: More aggressive, removes quieter background noise
• -30 dB: Conservative, only removes obvious silence

Min Silence Duration (seconds)

• 0.05s: Standard for voice recordings
• 0.1s: Preserves natural pauses
• 0.02s: Very aggressive trimming

How It Works

Trimly uses FFmpeg’s silenceremove filter to detect and trim silent segments. You control how it behaves:

• Silence Threshold (dB): How quiet is “silent”?
• Minimum Silence Duration (sec): How long before it gets chopped?

This lets you remove awkward gaps from voiceovers with surgical precision.
