How do I change the tightness?
- Pick Pacing, Fast or Natural, in the first cut's options.
- Run the first cut and play the result.
- To tighten it, ask the chat for tighter pacing, or to tighten the intro.
- To loosen it, restore the cuts you want back from the Edits list.
- If a change is wrong, undo it. A whole chat request undoes as one step.
What do you control?
- Pacing is chosen before the first cut.
- In chat, a pause counts as long when the silence lasts one second or more.
- Cuts made by the chat snap to word edges, so no word is cut in half.
- You cannot mark sections to protect before the cut. You restore a cut afterwards.
