Text-Based Editing Update: Change the Length of Pauses

[TeresaDemel]

We got feedback from all of you that you want to change the length of pauses, since sometimes you just want to find the long moments of silence, and sometimes you want to find all the tiny little "umms" that someone says. (Thanks for all the survey feedback. If you haven't filled it out yet, it is here.)

To change pause duration in the Transcript panel:

• Open the overflow menu in the top-right corner
• Select "Set pause length"
• Pauses can be as short as 0.1s or as long as 2.5s

This is really cool. Nice to just be able to hit backspace on an "um!". I will say that sometimes afterwards that you need to touch up the edit point by about a frame or so some of the "um" still leaks into the next audio clip. Not sure what can be done about that might be just one of those things we will always have to clean up.

It would be amazing to have 1 click-option to remove all pauses at once instead of having to do it manually one by one. 

This way we will edit a lot faster for Social Media and marketing shoots. 

Thanks!

Yes. I vote This!

Just use the filter to select all pauses and then delete them with one press of backspace.
