## What it is
Auto-Editor is a command line application that automatically edits video and audio by cutting out silent or motionless sections based on audio loudness, motion, and other analysis methods. It supports fine-grained control via edit methods, labels, actions, transitions, and exports timelines to editor formats like FCPXML and a JSON v1 format.

## Use cases
- automatically remove silence from a video
- cut dead space out of a long lecture recording
- make jump-cut YouTube videos without manual editing
- trim silence from a podcast or microphone recording
- speed up loud sections of a video automatically
- export a cut timeline to Premiere or Resolve
- shrink video file size by re-encoding

## When to choose
- you want hands-off, automatic removal of silence or stillness from video/audio
- you prefer a fast CLI over a graphical editor
- you need to batch-process long recordings like lectures or interviews
- you want timeline exports for professional NLEs

## When to avoid
- you need creative, manual editing with complex multi-track timelines
- you need transitions-heavy cinematic editing (support is limited)
- you need a GUI-only workflow
