I am trying to detect a silent parts of the audio tracks to make cuts in ppro via script. In AE scripting api we have an access to audio layers, but how is it possible to do in Ppro?

The PPro API will provide you with the path to the media associated with the projectItem 'backing' the trackItem, and source in/out range. 

A panel can invoke any tool it likes, via command line; you could process the audio in [whatever library you're using], and get back ranges of the source audio which are silent. 

What your panel does about those silent ranges, is up to you. 🙂

The PPro ExtendScript API provides no access to audio data.

Is there any workarounds? Maybe send the audio track to ae, run some code in ae, to determine the silent parts?
