Choosing between beep, mute and silence

Profanity censor audio options let you match tone: playful beep, clean mute, or silent gaps. Configure them once per clip or save them inside a brand template for a whole series.
Bleep
Classic broadcast beep overlays offensive audio while captions may still show softened text like f***. Adjust bleep volume in profanity settings so it does not overpower speech or startle listeners on headphones.
Mute
Mute cuts audio entirely for flagged words while keeping video continuous. Good for corporate, education, or family clips where even a beep feels off-brand or distracting.
Silence-style gaps
Combining mute with tight caption styling produces silent gaps that feel intentional. Pair with jump cuts for pacing when sensitive words appear in otherwise clean takes.
Caption text styles
Choose grawlix styles (asterisks or symbols) independent of audio treatment. Preview on phone speakers before batch export because small speakers hide quiet bleeps.
