How to do it
Open the Words tab and find the Smart cleanup card.
Turn on what to find: Tighten long pauses, Um, uh and hesitation sounds, and, if the recording is transcribed, asides, Repeated words (“the the”) and Restarted sentences, keeping the last take.
For pauses, pick Longer than and what Silent parts do. Cut when the screen is still, else speed up keeps on-screen action.

Good to know
- Every track is cut together, so text, captions and voice-over stay in sync. Imported music plays through.
- Pauses and hesitation sounds are found by listening. Asides, repeats and restarts need a transcript from the Text track card, which needs macOS 26.
- One ⌘Z undoes the whole cleanup.
