user26491: How can I keep the funny silent part of a video (sniffs, breathing,...)?
I found a solution here, but is there another solution?
I mean: Can I do the same in a video editor?

user21868: 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).
For a quick and dirty solution, you can try using this command-line tool I made last semester for a class. It is different from carykh's in the practical sense that it does not need to store png sequences of the images. (Therefore it requires less space.) 

For your purposes: keep the first_speed = 1.0 and change the second_speed to a very high number, then compile in XCode.
