Body: <p>I have recorded some video tutorials for our programming team. These consist of "live coding" exercises; basically, videos of me coding stuff. Thus, the video track is a screencast, and the audio track is consists of either my voice, or long periods of silence and/or clacking keys.</p>
  
  <p>What I would like to do is to automatically speed up the silent and key-clacky portions of the video, while leaving the parts with voice intact. Unfortunately, I am a video editing novice. So, is there some well-known way to do that ? If not, is there some Python library (or C#/Java library even, I'm not married to Python) that can get me at least part of the way there ? </p>

Comments.Text: @kazanaki - I edited your comment a bit.  While the question linked may be helpful, for purposes of duplicates, the same question coming up on multiple sites isn't considered a duplicate unless the same OP posts both.  Basically the expectation is that an OP identify the best place to ask and ask it there, however it is not expected that someone search all the SE sites for their question before posting where they think is best.
