Fwd: AUTO EDITOR DIDN'T WORK

[Real Live FootBall Tv]

I have followed the instructions given on how to install the app. What I
needed was an application to cut of silence from my video and I saw auto
editor demonstrated as one of the applications that could do that. It does
cut the silent areas of an MP4 format video for instance but would save it
as a XML file which in turn would be exported to the video editor that
supports the output from the auto editor app. The one who demonstrated it
in a video used Davinci Resolve to import the XML file, I followed same
process but I couldn't get same result.
Thanks for all your contributions.
