†TimeBolt snaps every cut to the measured waveform boundary after detection โ not a documented capability of the other tools.
*No published cap; both plugins failed an independent 2-hour multi-track silence-removal test.
UMCheck filler and bad-take removal runs in TimeBolt's single-file editor today; multicam support is next on the Multi-Track Editor roadmap.
Editors keep landing in the same place.
"I suddenly got a job editing 2-hour long talking head (interview) videos down to exciting 10-14 min. pieces. Doing it by hand was taking me hours just to get the initial gaps removed. Not only does this thing work EVEN BETTER than promised... my edit times were cut down by several hours each day."
"I've tried other software and they were ok'ish but made tons of overcutting or mistakes so I always had to double and triple check, which wasted my time. Your software is 99.9% accurate. I'm a customer for life."
"I am hugely impressed by the ease of use, speed and accuracy of both the silence detection and Umcheck, both of which I envisage will massively increase my productivity and reduce reliance on my inefficient NLE."
