remove_filler_words
Remove filler words like 'um' and 'uh' from Final Cut Pro timelines using audio transcripts. Non-destructive editing creates a cleaned copy of the project.
Instructions
Cut filler words (um, uh, erm...) out of the timeline with ripple, using word-level transcripts of the real source audio. Conservative default filler list — words like 'like' and 'so' are only cut if you pass them explicitly. Uses each media file's _transcript.json (auto-transcribes if missing). Non-destructive: writes a _defillered copy.
