Remove speech clutter and transcript punctuation before the workflow moves on to finishing or export.
The Remove Filler Words node is an Editing action node for cleaning up spoken content in a workflow. Use it after the workflow has a video or clips to process, and before any downstream node that should use the cleaned result.

​
Schema

  • Input: Video or clips from an earlier workflow node
  • Output: Video/clips output with the selected cleanup options applied

​
Add the node

Open Workflows from the left sidebar and click New to open the workflow builder. Add a trigger or source node first. When the builder moves to the Editing stage, choose Remove Filler Words from the left node panel. Overlap adds it as an action node on the canvas. Click the Remove Filler Words node on the canvas whenever you need to reopen its settings on the right side.

​
Choose what to remove

All cleanup options are off by default. Turn on only the passes you want this workflow to run.
  • Remove Filler Words: Clean up words like uh, um, and mhmm from speech.
  • Remove Stuttered Words: Clean up repetitive words like I I I or the the the.
  • Remove Silences: Cut out long pauses and silence gaps from your video.
  • Remove Punctuation: Remove periods, commas, and other punctuation from the transcript.
The node card shows No removal enabled until at least one cleanup option is turned on.

​
Place it in the workflow

Place Remove Filler Words after the node that produces the video or clips you want to clean. For a clip workflow, a common order is:
  • Find Clips -> Remove Filler Words -> Add Subtitles -> export
For a manual cleanup workflow, you can place it directly after Manual Trigger and then continue into subtitles, reframing, branding, or export.

​
Build the rest of the workflow

After cleanup is configured, continue with finishing nodes such as Add Subtitles, Reframe, Watermarks, Outros, etc., or an export node. Click Publish when the workflow is ready to run.
