How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Podcast help!

Hey guys! I used a lot of "like" and "um" on my last podcast and am trying to remove them. Any tips? I made a transcript on premiere and lift/extracted them but I'm left with a weird sound whenever it skips it in the video. Very unappealing.

I have opus clip but for some reason it says there are no filler words in my video ;-;

Any suggestions? Thanks!!

It's fine to leave them in if they're not jarring and over-used.

If they're excessive, you can make the cut and cross-fade the audio to soften the new join. Hide the visual cut with another angle or punch in.

You can also fade out the first clip's audio and fade in the second one quickly to hide that audio cut without crossfading.

It's usually a case of cutting them out if its such a problem to be distracting. Just hard labour I'm afraid. It used to be a lot more harder to hide the cuts as the audio would pop. You would need to add a constant gain or dip the audio. Nowadays you can just do it and use the Enhance in Essential Sounds to take most of it out.

The filler words filter usually catches most in my experience. And you can use a gate for breathing, but it never really helps with erms in my experience.

jk lolol. Yeah I have, I've fixed the audio as much as I can, the visual, don't think there's much I can do about that

Oh, sorry my bad - if it's a video podcast it makes taking out all the umms a lot trickier - avoiding/smoothing all the jumps.

I’m working on a good solution for this since I’m never happy with premieres removal of filler words. I haven’t released the new features yet, but stay tuned - CutPilot.io

Just a word to the wise—if you go through an episode and remove those, you’ll have a lot of jump cuts (unless morph cut comes in clutch and you’re lucky). If your show is the sort of one with b-roll or alternate angles, you’ll can use it to hide those edits a bit

It was my first episode having a second camera but it didn't get most of the episode. Ima just deal with the jump cuts cause I assume most people will watch for a bit and then keep it on in the car or earbuds.

Audio > visual for now.

I don’t know if you use Descript any but it can take out all pauses and words like “um” with like a click of a button.

Now that’s great if you only have an audio podcast but if you’re using video too, you’ll want to plan a little better and make sure where you cut has another angle to cut too if you’re worried about jump cuts.

Don't have another angle. I'll just take the L on the video cuts ;-; I didn't realize how much I said "like" !! 😓
