Long pauses and filler words make talking videos feel slow. PressCut finds them on your phone and cuts them out, without internet.

Remove silences

  1. Open your project and tap Silences in the toolbar (or use Remove silences from the quick tools on the home screen).
  2. Set the Sensitivity to Low, Medium or High. Higher sensitivity cuts more.
  3. Set the Shortest pause to cut. Pauses shorter than this stay in the video.
  4. Tap Remove silences. PressCut shows how many seconds shorter the video is.

Not happy with the result? Tap Undo and try a lower sensitivity.

For the most precise cuts, create captions first. With captions, PressCut knows exactly where each word starts and ends. Without them, pauses are found from the sound alone.

Edit the video by editing text

  1. Create captions first (see How to Add Auto Captions).
  2. Tap Edit by text. The transcript of every clip appears.
  3. Tap the words you want to remove to mark them.
  4. Tap Cut marked words. The video is cut to match the text.

Remove filler words

  1. Make sure the project has captions.
  2. Tap Fillers (or Find filler words in the captions panel).
  3. Review the words that were found and remove them.

If you see "No filler words found", either the speech is already clean or captions have not been created yet.
