Skip parts of a recording

Hide pauses, mistakes and dead air with Skips, and review the cleanup suggestions Shoyu finds.

Skip a range

The Skips tool with two skipped ranges on the filmstrip.
  1. Hold ⇧ and drag across the part to skip on the filmstrip.
  2. Choose Skip.

The range is crossed out on the filmstrip and viewers jump over it. Skips only hide time. Nothing is deleted, and viewers can still watch the original.

Adjust a skip

Open Skips and choose a skip. Set Start at and End at, or use Start at playhead and End at playhead. Split here divides a skip at the playhead, and Add a skip at the playhead starts a new one.

Audio fades smooths the sound at each skip: Off, 50, 150 or 300 ms. The default is 50 ms.

Review cleanup suggestions

Shoyu suggests pauses and filler words to skip. When it has some, they show as dashed marks along the top of the filmstrip.

  1. In Skips, open Suggestions.
  2. For each one, click Play around it (Space) to hear it.
  3. Click Skip (S) or Keep (K). Skip and adjust lets you change the range first.
  4. Use ↑ and ↓ to move between suggestions.

To accept every clear-cut suggestion at once, click Skip all. The button says how many.
