How do I remove audio pauses from just one clip without affecting any other clips?

[Touri]

If I want to remove all the audio pauses in an audio clip, no matter what I select, it removes pauses from other clips on the track and other clips on other tracks.

I have not been able to figure out how to remove audio pauses from only one clip without affecting the other clips.
*(locking all the other tracks, prevents the other tracks from being affected, but it doesn't prevent the other clips on the same track from being affected).
**I did notice that if I double click an audio clip, the transcription feature identifies pauses for just that clip, but if I try to remove the pauses, the delete button is not available.

Thanks for mentioning "locking tracks". This will be my workaround method until someone gives a better solution

Here’s a quick way to remove audio pauses from just one clip without affecting any other clips:

1. Add a new audio track.
2. Move the clip you want to edit to that track.
3. Lock the other tracks to prevent any changes to them.
4. Remove the pauses from the selected clip.
5. Move the clip back to its original track.

Thanks Paul, that's exactly what I ended up doing, it's just a bit clunky of a process when working with hundreds of clips. 

I did eventually stumble upon a workaround...that's seems to work. It's still not the most efficient, but it seems to work a little smoother. 

1. On the timeline > double click the audio clip 

2. Open the "Text" Panel > click the 3 dots (top right of panel) > Select, "Re-transcribe Clip"

3. When the pop-up window appears > click "transcribe"

4. In the "Text" Panel > click the "funnel icon" > select, "Pauses"

**This is where you should be able to just click the "delete" button, but it'll be grayed out and unuseable at this point, which is why there's an issue.

5. HERE'S THE SECRET STEP > In the timeline, Unselect the clip, by clicking any dead space NEXT to it.  Now the "delete" button is active and available again. 

6. Click the "delete" button

7. Select, "lift" or "extract"

8. Click "Delete all"

And that's it.
