Reduce file length by half/quarter (Time tab)

Post by vingamer234 » Wed Dec 05, 2012 10:27 pm

I came up with the feature idea for in the 'Time' tab; essentially it would be nice to be able to split a file in half or a different % (quarter too), based off the amount of seconds it has (or frames if it's more accurate).

So: 400 seconds split in half would be 200s for one file and 200s for the other.

Perhaps the greyed out 'Split' menu on the Time tab could say 'by percentage', or 'by half', 'by quarter' etc. I found that it's been greyed out because of developer reasons, but that was a year ago... :|

Just an idea. I have a bunch of audio files where they contain roughly 50% audio and 50% silence...for some reason.
Also, I'd like to know if this is actually possible, as the program stands now.


EDIT: I think Audacity might actually work here for cutting out all the silent parts.
