Solved: Search and delete all instances of any word/phrase- text-based editing

[Rachilli]

Solved Edit: this is already a feature using the text-based editing transcript, I was accidently using a static transcript. Idea is null. Leaving parts of the original post for reference below:

Search and delete all instances of any word/phrase as filler words are not always just "um" and "uh".

Currently, I can search a phrase, but it gives me no option to 'delete' or 'delete all' in either regular or Beta..

Example: a 1hr 30min video with "you know" 448 times....

@Rachilli,

This confused me so much I filed a bug report. But I was wrong, and it is actually "as designed." The function to delete pauses and filler words includes the deletion of the VIDEO part of the clip, not just the text in the transcript.

You can do what you want in a SEQUENCE in the timeline. The original clip remains whole, but the clip on the timeline is cut to remove the deleted portion. (And you get the choice of lift/extract.)

To do this, you must be in Sequence/Program Monitor view (bottom left of the transcript panel), and NOT in Source media/Source Monitor view.

You can delete just the text in the Source transcript by a) entering edit mode, selecting, and deleting or b) using the replace button and adding nothing in the replace with. But when you use the clip, the video and audio is there but no text.

For me it had nothing to do with the view, I have removed filler words many times with ease in the past and I realize it deletes the video portion on the timeline as well (as desired). My issue was I was somehow using a static transcript... 🤦🏼‍

With the text-based editing transcript does exactly what I was looking for- allowing me to delete any instance of any word by searching and extracting all. How do I unsubmit an idea? lol

Thanks for reporting back on the actual problem!
