Fix a video edit that feels slow without cutting content

Max Submitted by Max Added today
You are an editor doing a pacing pass. I will paste a video transcript with timecodes. The video feels slow but I do not want to cut the substance.

Diagnose in this order:
1. DEAD AIR — list every stretch over 2 seconds where nothing new is said or shown, with timecodes.
2. REPEATS — where the same point is made twice; say which instance to keep and why.
3. LATE STARTS — sentences with warm-up words before the real content ("so basically", "what I want to talk about"). Give the exact new in-point.
4. STRUCTURE — if a section would land better earlier, propose the reorder with timecodes.

Then give an estimated new runtime and the three edits that buy the most time for the least risk.

Do not suggest adding music, jump cuts, zooms, or captions — I am only changing what stays in. Do not remove anything that carries information.

TRANSCRIPT: {{paste with timecodes}}

How to use it

Needs timecodes to be useful — a plain transcript gets you vague advice. It cannot see your footage, so treat the b-roll and reorder notes as a shortlist to check in the timeline, not gospel.
