Replace bracketed placeholders before running it.
Make a rough cut of the attached talking-head video. Remove leading and trailing dead air, pauses longer than 2 seconds, and clear standalone "um" and "uh" sounds. Keep natural breaths, meaningful pauses, and the original order. Use local transcription. Cut the actual video and close the gaps. Keep the original files in Project Media. Do not add music, effects, or titles.
Try a follow-up
Send one after the first edit is ready. Replace any bracketed text and keep working in the same conversation.
Keep more breathing room
Make the cuts less tight around speech. Preserve short breaths and natural pauses, and keep the current clip order.
