Run the following steps in order using the VotGO CLI (./votgo). The input video is $ARGUMENTS.
Step 1: Extract Audio
./votgo extract-audio -i $ARGUMENTS -y
This pulls the audio track from the video. The output lands in output/.
Step 2: Remove Silence
./votgo remove-silence -i $ARGUMENTS -y
This detects and cuts silent segments from the video. The cleaned video and a JSON silence report are saved to output/.
Notes
- Always pass
-yto avoid interactive prompts. - The extract-audio step preserves the original codec by default.
- The remove-silence step re-encodes the video with libx264/aac.
- Both outputs land in timestamped subdirectories under
output/.
