what is qmm-autoedit fr?

QMM AutoEdit is a free command-line tool that turns raw video footage into an upload-ready clip automatically, without needing a graphics card. It is aimed at creators who want the kind of auto-editing found in paid Premiere plugins, built instead on two free tools: FFmpeg for video processing and faster-whisper for speech transcription. The tool does three main things. First, it removes dead air by detecting silent gaps in the audio and stitching the remaining loud sections back together into one tighter clip. Second, it can add karaoke-style captions that highlight each word as it is spoken, generated from a word-by-word transcript. Third, it can reframe any video into the tall 9:16 aspect ratio used by TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, filling the extra space with a blurred version of the background instead of cropping content out. There are three modes: short mode for vertical social clips with aggressive dead-air trimming and captions, longform mode which keeps the original aspect ratio and length but gently tightens and captions it, and clean mode which only removes dead air with no captions or transcription step. A best-window feature can also automatically find and use the highest-energy N-second segment of a longer video for short mode. Setup requires FFmpeg and Python 3.9 or later on the system. The captions and best-window features additionally need the faster-whisper package installed, but the tool still works without it, just skipping those steps with a printed notice. There are no API keys, accounts, or internet connection required at any point, and the only configurable setting is the caption font. The project includes a CLAUDE.md file written specifically to give Claude Code full context on the codebase's structure and command-line flags. It is released under the MIT license.
