01 / UNDERSTAND THE STORY
An edit begins with what needs to stay.
A long recording is not a finished story. There are pauses, false starts, repeated explanations and stronger versions of the same thought. Lora connects the transcript to timing so these become editing decisions, rather than just a list of silent intervals.
SPEECH ENGINE / SMART CUT / CLEANUP
The workflow separates speech recognition, cleanup and timeline assembly. Pauses and repeated takes are different problems: a natural breath is not the same as a long hesitation, and a repeated word does not always mean that the whole phrase should disappear.
A timed transcript
Phrase boundaries become a basis for cuts, titles and visual accents.
Pauses and retakes
Speech rhythm and repeated material are considered separately.
Project rules
The editing task defines what to keep and how tightly to cut.
Review the decisions: meaning and delivery still need an editor’s eye.
