Turn Speech Cleanup off
J
Jaron Myers
We do a comedy podcast and sometimes the "yeahs" and "uhhs" are part of the timing. I don't want them automatically removed because it makes the clip feel choppy and ruins the comedic timing. Please allow me to toggle it on and off.
When I choose the "don't clip" option that means just make it vertical and add captions.

Hi Jaron,
Thanks for the detailed feedback and for making comedy with Opus! You're right that the "yeahs" and "uhhs" can be part of the timing, so the good news is you can keep them. Filler-word removal is fully toggleable, in two places:
- Per clip (in the editor): open the project, click Edit Clip, and find “Speech Cleanup” — there you can choose whether or not to remove filler words.
- Across all clips (Brand Template): in your Brand Template, switch off the Remove Filler toggle. Once it's off, it won't be applied automatically going forward.
One quick clarification on "Don't Clip": right now that option only keeps the clip's length, it isn't yet linked to filler-word removal. So to keep your "yeahs" and "uhhs," use the Speech Cleanup / Remove Filler toggles above.
Thanks again for using Opus and for taking the time to share this hope it helps, and happy editing!
