The problem with your talking-head video
Face-cam videos live or die on pacing — pauses feel much longer on camera.
By hand, finding and cutting every gap often takes longer than the recording itself.
The fast method
Import your talking-head video, pick a cut style (Natural, Balanced, Punchy) and run the analysis.
You see the number of cuts and the new duration, listen, then export a ready-to-publish file.
Settings that matter
Sensitivity decides what counts as "silent", minimum pause avoids micro-cuts, and padding protects the start and end of sentences.
Keep the silences that help — good editing still breathes.
