How to delete video sections on the timeline via the transcript?

Question

When generating a transcript it becomes possible to remove for instance silences and breaks. You can search for a word within the transcript, but you can't actually delete it when right clicking for instance.

How do you delete a section of the timeline directly by deleting the word?

This option is greyed out. Hey Yumii,I'm wondering if maybe you generated a "static transcript" instead of a "text-based editing" transcript. That might be why the options to edit are greyed out. If you select the "..." icon in the top right, does it give you the option to generate a text-based editing transcript, or does it still say "generate static transcript"? Let us know, see the screenshot on where to find the options!Caroline

@yumiifmb,

Just as for removing silences, you must be in sequence/timeline view of the transcript to use Delete. In the lower left of the Transcript window, you can see the "follow active monitor" checkbox and the icon indicating which view you are in.
