100% this, it would be reallly really appreciated if we could at least restore the individual removed filler audio if it made a mistake.
The remove all filler words feature is like nuking your entire video because in the spots where it doesn't work It's bad. The only way to get back to being productive is to start over and not use the feature.

Also, removing filler words that are adjacent to a marker will delete the marker. That seems like a bug. If I placed the marker and I wanted to remove the filler word, why is the marker tied to the filler word?
Gretchen Miller
Yes please. And if there is an associated breath, let's keep that breath as much of my labour involves returning the breath to keep the flow and rhythm natural (much better than automatically replacing the um with AI generated atmos)

Gretchen Miller: Any thoughts on how to remove filler words without affecting the video? I'd sort of like to see the audio go silent/background noise and keep the video because in some cases it's hard to tell from the frame at the start to the frame at the end if anything has moved. Some slides are static and it's easy, but in other presentations, you have important information on the video and you need to keep it intact while just removing the jibber jabber of the people talking.

The same issue is with the Word Gap removal. They way Descript allows to go through the proposals is not helpful to be more effecient in editing the audio. Here an example what I mean https://www.loom.com/share/6d2a93de1816465d93e8d0ea05ddc0cd

Tom Solid: Great points in this video.

It'd be great if we had the option to just ignore/remove the filler words from the transcript, but keep them in the video.

I never use this feature because it is unreliable due to poor splice points that interrupt audio

This would radically affect my workflow. I have to manually check each filler-word suggestion for my podcast to avoid the harsh cuts. And if I can tell by looking at the waveform, I know Descript can too ;)
Gretchen Miller
ankur delight: yes!

yes please!

Tots... half of my editing is listening to the composition and undoing or correcting the filler word harsh cuts. Perhaps a dial or score could be added to the feature allowing the user to select how drastic a cut would be allowed.

I wholeheartedly agree, because this is a powerful feature, it is rendered almost useless because you then need to go and find another way to actually smooth out to the audio. When filler words are removed, there should be a smooth transition (both audio and video) that applies automatically.

The Café: I'll agree with the video tip. I would like the video to always be gap filled so the video remains original and there is just an audio sound gap.
