When you record to camera, "um", "ah" and "so, the thing is…" creep in without you noticing. Going through a ten-minute video line by line to cut them yourself takes hours. Chipscat Studio offers filler-word removal: send us the raw recording and we clean out the fillers, long pauses and failed takes, and return a video that flows.
What's included
- Filler removal: um, ah, er, so, like, you know and other verbal tics, cut one by one
- Long pauses trimmed: thinking gaps and script-checking pauses shortened so the pace doesn't drag
- Failed and repeated takes: said the same line three times? We keep the smoothest one
- Smoothed cut points: the jumps caused by cutting are handled so the result looks natural
- Subtitles on request: subtitles added straight after the cut, delivered together (see multilingual subtitles)
Who it's for
- YouTubers and creators: spend the time on your next video instead
- Online course instructors: course videos run for hours; cutting fillers yourself is too slow
- Corporate talking-head videos: executives or staff explaining something on camera, cleaned up before it goes out
- Video podcasts: fillers and dead air in long conversations tidied up
How it works
- Upload the video to Google Drive. Create a folder, upload the raw recording, turn on link sharing and send us the link. Tell us the purpose and the pace you want (keep it natural, or as tight as possible).
- Assessment and quote. We assess by length and condition and send a quote. You decide.
- Production and delivery. Once confirmed, we edit and deliver in the agreed format.
About the editing
Removing fillers isn't "the more the better". Cutting everything makes the speaker sound like a machine, one sentence slammed into the next with no breath. We keep a natural speaking rhythm and pauses. The goal is for viewers to think "this person speaks well", not "this video is cut hard". If you have a preference on pacing, tell us when you ask.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to send a script or transcript?
No, the raw recording is enough. A script helps us spot which sections are failed takes, so send it if you have one.
Will it look jumpy?
We handle the cut points and keep natural pauses so it plays smoothly. If you have a second camera angle or B-roll, we can use it to cover cuts.
Can you do a course video that's several hours long?
Yes. Long videos are quoted by length, and we give an estimated number of working days with the assessment.
Can you add subtitles at the same time?
Yes. After the cut we add subtitles and deliver everything together, in Chinese, English or other languages.
