Why we like it

Silence Remover sits at rank 59 in the aescripts library. It earns its place among Premiere Pro audio tools for automating a repetitive editing task — isolating silence gaps — with a direct remove-silence option added in version 1.2.

What is Silence Remover?

Silence Remover is a plugin from Motion FX for Adobe Premiere Pro that isolates silence gaps in your footage. It automates one of the more repetitive parts of editing, and version 1.2 added an option to remove the silence directly.

You drag or import your audio, and once it's loaded it stays available until you drag in another file. A clear audio frequency makes detection more accurate, and the developer recommends preparing audio and importing it as mp3, especially when working with large video files.

The plugin also lets you choose a track, keep a selection after applying, pick an audio channel with the MultiChannel option, and zoom the wave view. It works with Premiere Pro 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 and CC 2019, and is listed here as free. A demo video is available for anyone who wants to see more.
