Every recording has parts you'd rather not share — a flubbed sentence, a long pause, a wrong screen, or a tangent that doesn't belong. Here's how to remove any section from a video using REQO's browser-based editor.
Method 1: Remove Using the Transcript (Fastest)
REQO automatically transcribes your video's audio. To remove a section:
- Open the transcript view.
- Find the text corresponding to the part you want to cut.
- Highlight it — just like selecting text in a document.
- Press Delete or click the cut button.
- The video and audio are both removed at exactly that point.
This works best for spoken content — interviews, tutorials, walkthroughs, presentations.
Method 2: Remove Using the Timeline
For cutting sections that don't have speech — a screen you accidentally showed, a moment of silence, a visual mistake:
- Open the timeline view.
- Click and drag to select the range you want to remove.
- Right-click and choose 'Delete section' or press Backspace.
- The remaining clips close the gap automatically.
After Removing Sections
- Preview the cut to make sure it flows naturally.
- If the audio sounds choppy, try cutting earlier or later — cuts on breaths or natural pauses are less noticeable.
- Export when you're happy with the result.
