Hey! Cool app! I’ve been seeing this feature (transcript based video editing) more and more, and it’s really interesting! But I wonder: is the intention for the edited result to sound natural? To me, even just removing short clauses, adjectives or interjections, it always sounds heavily edited and unnatural. Could some form of GenAI approach be used here to "smooth over" the cut sections? Or maybe even a gentle, very short cross-fade?

Cool idea!

It’s strange to list “Up to 10 customers, free” as “free” when it’s one of the features of a paid tier. It’s not free it’s part of what you’re paying for.
