Picture a two-hour podcast take and a timeline full of dead air. TimeBolt is a local editor for Mac and Windows that finds silence, filler words and bad takes, then sends the cuts out as MP4, SRT, XML or FCPXML. You bring the recording; it handles the trimming pass before you open your usual editor.

Our take
It fits people who record a lot of talking and would rather not scrub a waveform by hand. Podcasters and talking-head creators get the most from it, since the whole job is finding the parts where nobody is speaking. Footage with no dialogue gives it little to work on.
