When I highlight the dead space [...]  I don't want it to edit to new dead space. If I have "[...]{filler}" and highlight both , I have to edit again to remove what I asked to be removed. 

 

This is a big frustration when text editing. I don't want [...] and cannot bulk edit it - especially if there is a demonstration and nobody's talking. So I have to go through and remove all the [...] that I find. Which means I have to do this task TWICE for many [...] . And sometimes it splits it into two! [...]

 

[...] which means I have to highlight both and delete again. 

 

If this cannot be remove with just the delete, how about a command of "Shift-Delete" where any dead space before and after is also removed? 

 

In the video example I am deleting [...] and it creates two [...][...].

    @geekazine,

     

    Yes, this type of thing can be frustrating. The option to delete pauses and fillers is a good feature, but applying it to real-world workflows can be challenging. I need to experiment with some options, so I'll ask some questions first.

     

    > I have to edit again to remove what I asked to be removed. 

    Are you focused on the pause indicators in the transcript? Or the actual audio? The "left behind" pause indicator, as often as not, does not mark a pause that meets your selected "minimum pause length." I find better results if I use the Transcript tab filter for pauses, review there, and LIFT those where I want to delete the audio. Creating captions ignore all the pause/filler indicators anyway.

     

    > cannot bulk edit it - especially if there is a demonstration and nobody's talking

    So sometimes you want to delete just the pause/audio and sometimes the pause/audio/video? For most of my pieces, I don't want the video to be deleted. I lock the video track.

     

    @TeresaDemel Any thoughts?
