Remove filler words and pauses
Vidler AI cuts "um" and "uh" and shortens long pauses on new recordings. Review each one in the editor, or turn it off.
On this page
Vidler AI can tidy your delivery for you. It removes filler words such as "um" and "uh" and shortens long pauses, so the video gets to the point. Your original recording is always kept.
On new recordings
Both are on by default for new videos with speech, and they're applied before you share:
- Remove filler words cuts "um" and "uh".
- Shorten long pauses trims pauses over a second.
Turn either off for future videos in Settings → Vidler AI under Automatic edits. If When Vidler AI finishes is set to Suggest first, automatic edits aren't applied.
Turn them on or off for one video
- Open the video and go to the Edit tab.
- Under Clean-up, use the Remove filler words and Shorten long pauses switches. The section says how many filler words were found or removed.
The video is re-rendered and the link keeps working. "Set by Vidler AI" shows when the edits came from your settings.
Review each filler word
To keep some fillers, review them one by one in the editor:
- Click Open editor under Clean-up, or open the editor and click Clean up.
- Under Filler words, you'll see Review 1 of the total, with the words around it.
- Click Play to hear it, then Remove or Keep. The next one comes up.
- Click Save to apply your choices.
Under Pauses, choose Shorten pauses longer than 0.5 to 3 seconds. Each pause is shortened to half a second, so speech never runs together. The panel shows how many pauses were found and how much time you save. Restore all turns both off.
In the transcript, filler words have a dotted underline, and removed ones are struck through.
Remove repeats and false starts
In the Edit tab, under Clean-up, click Find next to Repeats and false starts. Vidler AI suggests cuts where you said something twice or started a sentence over. Click Review cuts in the editor, then accept or reject each one. Nothing changes until you accept.
