Edit Methods

Do a one-pass audio filter based on the loudest sample in a timebase section, divided by the max value a sample can be.

Scale the video to width pixels, convert to grayscale, apply a Gaussian blur of blur amount, then compare the difference with the previous frame.

Mark a frame as loud when at least threshold of its pixels are black, where a pixel counts as black when its grayscale luma is at or below pixel-black. Wrap in not to instead cut black frames.

When pattern, a RegEx expression, matches a subtitle line, consider the time that line occupies as loud.

When value, matched as a whole word, appears in a subtitle line, consider the time that line occupies as loud. Case-insensitive by default.
