Pauses and gaps
Silent gaps between cuts appear as distinct teal "Pause" segments on the timeline; you can keep them for pacing or ask Eddie to remove them, and a pause always means actual silence.
The space between spoken lines is part of the edit. Eddie makes those gaps visible so you can decide what to do with them.
Pauses are visible
Silent gaps show on the timeline as distinct teal Pause segments, labelled as such — you can see exactly where the dead air is.
A pause means silence
Eddie determines a pause from the transcript timing, so it never mistakes quiet speech for a gap. If it's labelled a pause, it's genuinely silent.
Keep or remove
Remove — "cut the long pauses" for tighter pacing.
Keep — "leave a beat after the punchline" for emphasis.
Include a specific one — ask Eddie to bring a particular pause back into the cut.
In export
Pause segments carry through to every NLE export so your timing survives the hand-off.
