On the timeline "[TIMELINE NAME]" only (it is a duplicate, the original is safe):

1. Find every pause longer than [0.6] seconds on the dialogue track [A1].
2. Do NOT cut yet. Add a red marker at the start of each pause, named "PAUSE <length>s".
3. Report: number of pauses, total time they add up to, and the 5 longest with timecodes.

After I review the markers and say go:
4. Remove each marked pause, keeping 4 frames of handle on both sides so words are not clipped.
5. Ripple the gaps closed on all tracks together so B roll and music stay in sync with dialogue. If a cut would break a clip on another track, skip it and mark it "SKIPPED: overlap".
6. Tell me the old and new duration and how many cuts you made.
