QuickEdit

Editing controls

Keep detection

Section titled “Keep detection”

By default, QuickEdit keeps frames containing speech or visual activity:

Terminal window
quickedit tutorial.mp4 --combine or:speech,motion

Use speech for speech-only footage or and:speech,motion when both signals must be active. Higher VAD and motion thresholds cut more aggressively.

Smoother cuts

Section titled “Smoother cuts”

--margin retains padding around a kept section. --mincut fills very short cut gaps, and --minclip removes very short keep fragments. A safe first tuning pass is:

Terminal window
quickedit talk.mp4 --margin 0.3 --mincut 0.4 --minclip 0.1

For long screen recordings, increase --motion-frame-skip to reduce analysis time. Higher values can miss very short visual changes.
