Tips before you run
Start with the default settings and change one input at a time. Keep the result you like on your board so the next step can use it.
If you add a reference file, use a link the workflow can read. Check the inputs and credit estimate on the board before starting a run.

Remove Pauses API
Run Remove Pauses from your own code with the Wireflow API. Open it in a workflow, then call the run endpoint with that workflow's ID and poll for the result. Agents can run it through MCP.
# Model: Remove Pauses. Open a workflow first.
# Replace YOUR_WORKFLOW_ID with the ID in its /flow/ URL.
curl 'https://www.wireflow.ai/api/v1/workflows/YOUR_WORKFLOW_ID/run' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_WIREFLOW_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"nodeIds":["model"]}'
# Response (202):
# {"data":{"executionId":"...","status":"running",
# "poll":"/api/v1/workflows/executions/.../poll"}}
# GET the returned poll path with the same Authorization header.Read the run API docs or connect your agent.
Working with this model
What it is for
Fast talking-head reels cut every breath. A generated or recorded take leaves a beat after almost every sentence, and those beats add up: a take that is one fifth pauses plays at about 150 words a minute, where a reel that holds attention runs well over 200.
Remove Pauses is that jump cut, done for you. Wire the take into Video and run it. It listens to the take's own audio, finds every pause, and cuts it out of the picture and the sound at the same frames, so the lips stay in sync across every cut.
Recipe: a tight talker
- Talking-head take (a talking-head video node, or an imported clip) into Video.
- Run it with the defaults and watch the result. Read the summary on the card: how many pauses were cut, and the length before and after.
- Words clipped at the edges? Raise Pause kept each side (60 to 80 ms). Quiet words cut out? Lower Noise floor to -45. Room noise keeping pauses in? Raise it to -30.
- Still slow? Set Speed after the cut to 1.05 or 1.1. The pitch is kept.
- Wire Cut Video on into captions and the Video Editor. Caption timing should come from the cut video, not the original take.
The dials
- Min pause to cut (default 150 ms): only quiet spans at least this long are cut. Lower cuts more, higher leaves short breaths in.
- Pause kept each side (default 40 ms): how much of each pause stays on either side of the cut, so the end of one word and the start of the next are not clipped. Each cut also gets a 5 ms audio fade, so there are no clicks.
- Noise floor (default -35 dB): anything quieter counts as a pause.
- Speed after the cut (1 to 1.15, default 1): speeds the whole cut up.
Values out of range are clamped, and the values used come back in the cut list. Silence before the first word and after the last is cut too.
Outputs
- Cut Video: the take with the pauses removed, same size and frame rate.
- Cut list: every kept segment with its start and end in the original take and in the cut video, how many pauses were cut, and the length before and after. Use it to move caption or overlay timing from the original take onto the cut.
Limits
Takes up to 180 seconds, and at most 150 kept segments in one run (raise Min pause or trim the take for more). The take needs an audio track. The video is re-encoded (near visually lossless); a take with nothing to cut at 1x comes back unchanged.
