Filler Words - Remove from Transcript Only

I am using the "filler words" feature that was recently introduced: https://descript.canny.io/feature-requests/p/include-filler-words
Is it possible to remove the filler words from a transcript but _not_ remove them from the audio/video?
Ideally, I don't need the "um"s and "you know"s in my transcript or SRT file, but I don't necessarily want to remove them from the video, but the SRT file and the transcript timestamps are all off if I "ignore" or "delete" them.
It would be great if the "ignore" option (or a third option) could remove them from the transcript without changing the video so that I don't have to replace an existing video and still have a usable transcript with timestamps and a usable SRT file.
Hopefully there's a way to do that that I'm missing or it's an upcoming feature. Either way, thanks, it's still a great feature! Would be great if it could recognize stuttering too where a word or short phrase is repeated 2-3 times in a row...

We have this feature - you change "Remove Media" to "Correct Transcript" and just leave it blank.

This is badly needed.

AUDIO WITHOUT AFFECTING VIDEO optionGerad O'Shea
Agreed on all. The toggle "without affecting video" didn't work for me, now I'm manually editing the audio for every single um that was deleted to catch the other words that got caught in the process. It's a mess. It would've been easier to transcribe the thing myself.

To remove filler words from the transcript without affecting audio/video: in the filler word removal dialog, you can select "Correct transcript." If you "Apply" without entering a new word, the filler word will be removed from the transcript without removing it from the audio/video.
To remove filler words from transcript and audio without affecting video: enable the "Delete audio without affecting video" toggle when removing filler words.

The lack of this feature caused me to have to delete all filler words so I could have a transcript without them. Then I had the "joy" of having to re-edit my entire episode to clean up all the unnatural breaks in the audio created. PLEASE add the option to export transcript WITHOUT filler words (honestly this should be the default, who the hell needs a transcript with filler words gray and striked-thru in it??) soon. I'm sure the level of effort for engineering would be minimal.

Yeah, most of the filler removal works well, but sometimes it makes the audio unnatural. We just need the Uhs removed from the subtitles, not the video/audio itself.

this needs more attention

This is huge for video. we can't have the video keep jumping every time there's a filler word edit. We need a way to protect the original media and maintain the original timecode.
