Remove ums from founder and LinkedIn videos
Posting a video of yourself is easier when you know the ums will be gone. Say it naturally, and erm finds the filler words and long pauses in your talking-head video so you can cut them before you post.
Talking-head videos you’re happy to post
Short videos on LinkedIn and your own site are often the first time people see you. They are judged fast, and most people are harsher on their own ums than any viewer would be.
What erm finds
We just closed our first um enterprise customer, and uh… 2.6 s pause honestly, it took erm a lot longer than I expected.
How erm helps with founder videos
- Record casually, since the fillers can come out afterwards.
- Review the cuts and keep any that suit your style.
- Private by design, so a draft you decide not to post never leaves your Mac.
- Small enough job that you’ll actually do it before posting, not skip it.
Remove filler words from founder videos in three steps
- Drop in your video. A .mov, .mp4 or .m4v of any length, from your camera, phone or screen recorder.
- Review the cuts. erm marks each um, erm, uh and long pause. Keep any you like.
- Save the edit. Done on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.

Tips for cleaner founder videos
- Record two or three takes and pick the one with the best energy, not the fewest ums. erm can fix the ums.
- Make your point in the first sentence, and check that sentence is clean before you post.
- Keep a filler or two if it sounds like you. A video that sounds scripted is harder to trust.
