What Cut the Fluff does
When you talk to camera, you rarely say it perfectly the first time. There are "um"s, restarts, tangents and the same point said twice. Each one costs you viewers.
Cut the Fluff transcribes everything you say, labels each sentence, and drops:
- Filler words and hesitations: "um", "uh", "like", "you know".
- Errors and retakes: false starts and repeated attempts at the same line. The best take stays.
- Redundancy: when you make the same point twice, only the clearest version survives.
- Off-topic tangents: detours that don't serve the main message.
Short cut vs Full cut
The Full cut keeps your whole explanation in order, just cleaner. The Short cut keeps only the strongest points and opens with a hook. It's ideal when the same content needs to work as a 20-second teaser.
Tips
- Speak in complete sentences, and pause before retrying a line.
- Mention your main point early. It helps the AI decide what matters.
- Use a note like "keep the three tips" to protect structure.
