# How do I remove a pause or speed up my video?

> Use Auto-cut in Clips to remove idle moments automatically, or cut specific segments yourself with Cut a segment.

Section: Help Center › FAQ

If your video feels slow or has stretches where nothing is happening, there are two tools in **Clips** to fix this: **Auto-cut** for idle moments and **Cut a segment** for anything specific.

## Step 1 — Run Auto-cut first

[Auto-cut](https://www.tutorial.ai/en/articles/12520977-smart-auto-cut) automatically detects and removes idle moments from your recording — pauses between clicks, loading screens, and sections where the mouse isn't moving. It's the fastest way to tighten up a video in one click.

Open **Clips** and click **Auto-cut** in the toolbar. Hover over the button first to preview what it would cut. Auto-cut works on the clip you're on, so run it on each clip that needs it, then preview the result and go to step 2 if anything still needs trimming.

## Step 2 — Manually cut remaining segments

If there are still specific sections you want to remove — unnecessary clicks, a wrong turn in the recording, or a segment that's simply too long — click **Cut a segment** in Clips (or **Shift + Click** on the timeline) to cut them out manually — see [Cut & Trim Video Segments](https://www.tutorial.ai/en/articles/10396375-cut-trim-video-segments).

When you remove a video segment, the narration between its surrounding Sync Markers automatically adjusts to fit the shorter footage. The video will play faster through that section instead of pausing.

## Why this works

In Tutorial AI, pauses in the narration are caused by the video being longer than the narration between two Sync Markers — the video has to wait. By cutting out footage, you shorten the video segment and the system no longer needs to pause.
