Step by step
- Find likely filler words. Open the cleanup controls for your video. Look through suggested ums and uhs rather than treating every hesitation as a mistake. Some pauses carry emphasis or give the viewer time to follow.
- Listen around each suggestion. Play the surrounding sentence. Keep words that belong to the meaning, and cut a filler only when the remaining phrase sounds complete.
- Review quiet gaps separately. A silent gap is different from a filler word. Shorten a pause when it slows the story, but keep room for breaths, reactions, and changes of thought.
- Apply and check the result. Apply the selected cuts and watch the sequence with captions. Listen for clipped words or abrupt jumps. Undo the cleanup if the result needs another pass before you export.

Common questions
Should I remove every filler word?
No. Remove a filler when it distracts from the point or adds an unnecessary delay. Keep it when the cut would change the meaning, clip a nearby word, or make the speaker sound unnatural.
Is removing filler words the same as removing silence?
No. Filler-word removal cuts spoken sounds such as um and uh; silence removal shortens quiet gaps. Review them separately because a useful pause may not contain any filler words.
Can I undo cleanup cuts in Flurra?
Yes. After applying the selected cleanup cuts, you can use Undo in the editor. Preview the result before continuing with other edits or exporting.
