Transcript
Transcript settings control how the transcript panel displays content during editing.
[Show cuts (grayed out)]: When enabled, cut sections remain visible in the transcript as grayed-out text. When disabled, cut sections are hidden entirely. Keeping them visible is useful when you want to restore previously cut content. Hiding them gives you a cleaner reading experience.
[Show silence frame length]: When enabled, silent gaps in the transcript display the exact number of frames. When disabled, silent gaps show as "..." instead. Frame counts are useful when you need precise timing information during cleanup.
