Fix restarts
Click Fix restarts in the Words tab (⌘2). Cinemac finds false starts and lines you said again, cuts the earlier tries and keeps the last one.
Everyone restarts a sentence now and then: "So what this does… so what this does is". Cinemac spots these in the transcript.
Fix them all
- Open the Words tab (⌘2). The recording needs a transcript. See Transcribe your recording.
- Click Fix restarts. The button says how many it found, for example Fix 3 restarts.
The earlier attempts are cut, and the last one is kept. A message says how much shorter the video got.
Check them one by one
- Click the arrow next to Fix restarts to go to the next restart. The words it would cut are selected in the transcript.
- On the timeline, each restart shows as a Restart chip. Click it, then choose Cut the restart or Keep both.
- Stop suggesting this one hides a suggestion you want to keep.
Fixed restarts are ordinary cuts. Undo them with ⌘Z, or select the struck-through words and restore them.
