bipcut

What is bitcut?

bitcut is a small utility made using Python, Scipy and FFmpeg, that makes possible to extract video/audio clips using soundwaves. It uses a Fast Fourier Transform to detect when a specific soundwave is played in the video and, based on the tone frequency, cut or skip the clip.

You will also need to install FFmpeg on your system, and add it to the PATH environment variable.
