Ever started editing a new video, only to find that you have tons of mistakes where you stop and restart a sentence again and again until you get that perfect take?

The bad news is that if you were to fix these mistakes manually you would easily spend ages just cleaning up a single video.

The good news is that you’re not alone. Everyone (even the pros!) make mistakes, and the way professionals fix their video is by using FireCut’s Remove repetition feature to find and remove the mistakes automatically.

To remove repetitions with FireCut, simple go to Remove repetition, and click Detect repetition.

FireCut then analyzes your video to find parts where you have repeated a sentence multiple times, including those times where you stopped partway through the sentence and restarted it.

You can review the findings in great detail, and even fine-tune the detection parameters:

• Minimum phrase size — how long a sentence needs to be to be detected

• Tolerance — how similar the repetitions need to be

• Search radius — how far apart can repetitions be

Not only this, FireCut also lets preview the detected repetitions by playing them in the sequence, so you can double-check which repetition you want to keep!

FireCut’s Remove repetition feature saves you tons of time on long videos where you’re reading a script but often doing multiple takes of the same text.
