AI-assisted / Prompt-based Auto Cut (Flow Cut) in Kdenlive?

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if there’s any existing way (plugin, script, or workflow) to use AI/prompts to automatically perform “flow cut” editing in Kdenlive — similar to what tools like Descript do, where silences/pauses/filler words are detected and cut automatically based on the transcript.

Specifically, I’m looking for something that could:

  • Analyze the audio/transcript
  • Automatically remove dead air, pauses, or unwanted segments
  • Ideally be controllable via a prompt or rule-based instruction

Does Kdenlive have any MLT/Python scripting hooks that could support this kind of AI-driven automatic editing? Or has anyone built an external tool/plugin that integrates with Kdenlive for this purpose?

Any pointers, existing projects, or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi @mohammad_Asghari, and welcome to the forum and community.

Kdenlive doesn’t have an API or scripting interface (yet), so all of what you want to do needs to be done outside of Kdenlive.

Removing silence is already possible, though.
