Welcome to video Stack Exchange. This is an interesting question, and one that I have asked myself in the past!
If you are willing to spend money, check out the third-party Adobe plugin Awkward Pause (click here for demo video).

If you have trouble, try the following: 1) Make sure you have ffmpeg installed 2) Make sure ffmpeg is in your PATH 3) Make sure all the file names & directories you use have no spaces 4) If you have problems on windows/linux, try using a mac (the tool should work on anywhere you compile for but I only tested it on mac.) I will update the readme with this info. :)– evnCommented Oct 17, 2019 at 1:26

@FrodóZsákos Yes. Once you have a compiled executable file, put it in a folder with the input video. Then you can run it from terminal in that directory with
./vidsum inputvideoname.mp4 outputvideoname.mp4– evnCommented Oct 17, 2019 at 1:26 -

@FrodóZsákos it sounds like either you don't have ffmpeg installed or it's not in your PATH. please follow the instructions in my other comment on this thread.– evnCommented Oct 21, 2019 at 4:00
