Cut on a multitrack timeline, by frame or by word
Video, audio, text and adjustment tracks, with split, ripple delete, markers and the keys editors already use. The transcript sits beside the timeline: delete a word and its moment is cut, and Remove Filler Words and Remove Silences each clear a take in one step.
So, um, pick a desk for the day or keep one for the month.

You know, it just works.
