NovaTrim
Silence-aware auto-trim for DaVinci Resolve.
Cut interviews down in a few clicks. Runs completely on your machine — no internet needed to process your footage. Save hours of editing every month.
What it does
Silence detection you can trust
Word-level speech detection — not a blunt dB gate. Handles music beds, low speech, and cross-talk without eating your takes.
Non-destructive edits
NovaTrim writes cuts to a new timeline version. Your original timeline stays untouched — undo one keystroke away.
Runs on your machine
Processing happens entirely on-device — your footage never leaves your machine. License activation needs one online check (offline grace period after). An optional AI cut mode can send just the transcript text to a cloud provider for smarter pacing calls; the default local mode never sends anything anywhere.
Runs inside Resolve
Ships as a Utility script — launch from Workspace → Scripts. No external app to keep open.
