Finding Perfect Cut Points

Waveform Valley (Low): Natural pause between words

Waveform Peak (High): Middle of speech - avoid

Frame Boundary: Marker snaps to frame edges

Audio Start: Waveform rises from silence

Audio End: Waveform falls to silence

Why Precision Matters

1-2 frame error = audio glitch, jarring transition

Frame-perfect cut = smooth, professional transition

Precision is difference between amateur and professional.
