Finding Perfect Cut Points

Waveform Valley (Low): Natural pause between words
Waveform Peak (High): Middle of speech - avoid
Frame Boundary: Marker snaps to frame edges
Audio Start: Waveform rises from silence
Audio End: Waveform falls to silence

Why Precision Matters

1-2 frame error = audio glitch, jarring transition
Frame-perfect cut = smooth, professional transition

Precision is difference between amateur and professional.
