# What exactly does Cut all cut — and can I cut just some of them?

Cut all cuts what the list is currently showing — so the filter chips are your scalpel. Narrow the list to Hesitations only, or to one speaker, and the button follows: "Cut all (21)" means those 21. Every cut is snapped to a quiet point, the lot lands as one undo step, and a checkpoint is saved first.

**Where:** Voice Editor → Fillers → Cut all.

The button is honest about its number. "Cut all (142)" counts what is in the list right now: filters applied, and anything already cut or ignored excluded. Narrow the list and the number follows.

Two sets of chips do the narrowing. The category chips — Hesitations, Discourse, Custom — toggle each kind in and out of the list. The speaker chips narrow to one voice, and the button says so: "Cut all (36) · Maria" cuts Maria’s fillers and nobody else’s.

A practical recipe: cut the umms blind, review the likes by hand. Toggle off Discourse and Custom, hit Cut all — hesitations are noise, nothing of value is lost. Then toggle them back on and walk the remaining hits one by one with Auto-advance, keeping the "like"s that are doing real work in the sentence.

Bulk does not mean blunt. Each filler in the batch is cut individually: the edit is snapped to a quiet point in the waveform so it lands between sounds, and where no clean edge exists, that word is muted instead of clipped. A hundred fillers cut at once are a hundred separately-judged edits.

And it is dressed in seatbelts. The whole batch is one undo step (⌘Z takes it all back), a project checkpoint is saved automatically right before the cut, and every individual filler stays restorable afterwards — from Recent edits, or from its "✂" mark in the transcript.

- **Category chips** — Hesitations / Discourse / Custom — toggle kinds in and out; Cut all follows the visible set.
- **Speaker chips** — Narrow to one speaker; the button names who you are about to cut.
- **Mute all** — The same batch, muted instead of cut — timing stays put. See Delete vs Ignore.
