Descript Cut the Awkward Pause Out of My Video Without Touching the Timeline

I searched my transcript for a long silence and deleted it; the audio followed the text.

Descript closed the gap without the record-skip tell you get from normal trimming.

I pushed the cleanup lightly; too much and the voice picks up a faint artifact.

The transcript also caught a mispronounced name I'd never have noticed by ear.

Editing by words beat nudging a waveform by a mile. I'm not going back to the old way.
