Learn how to show pauses in a video transcript to make trimming, rearranging, and editing your video easier.
Showing pauses in a video transcript during editing is important because it helps identify natural breakpoints in speech, making it easier to trim, rearrange, or perform other editing actions.
When working with the Firefly video editor, visible pauses in the transcript help you determine where to add other video elements, such as music, text, or visuals. This not only saves time but also helps you create smoother, more natural edits, making the final video feel more polished and professional.
Before you begin:
Create a new project and add a video file with dialogue to the timeline.
Use the icon to select the Show pauses option.
Once enabled, the transcript shows pauses as continuous dots, and they can be treated like any other text in the transcript.
