The Clean up tool finds the parts that slow a video down. Nothing is removed until you tap.

Steps

Open the Clean up tool.
Long pauses are found when your footage is prepared. Filler words like "um" appear once the video is transcribed.
Review the list. Clear "um"s and pauses over 1.5 seconds are ticked for you. Tap a time to hear it first.
Untick anything you want to keep.
Choose Remove ticked.

If you do not see anything, it says Nothing to clean up.

If you are not sure, keep a short pause. A little breathing room sounds natural.
