Command · Find Takes
takes.find
Finds repeated attempts of the same line (retakes and false starts) in a sequence and the recordings it uses: groups of takes, best first, each with its words, a word-by-word difference from the best one, and quality (fillers, false starts, pauses, complete sentence, level, clipping, noise floor, pace).

}Parameters
acrossRecordingsboolean- Attempts in different recordings count (default true).
includeSourceMediaboolean- Also look in the whole recordings the sequence uses, for takes trimmed away (default true).
limitinteger (1..500)- Groups listed at most (default 100).
maxGapnumber (1.0..36000.0)- Within one recording, attempts further apart than this (seconds) are not retakes (default 180).
meaningboolean- Also group paraphrased attempts by meaning with the text encoder (slower; default false).
media(integer | string (1..))[], min 1- More media items whose transcripts hold takes.
minSimilaritynumber (0.3..1.0)- How alike two attempts must be to count as takes of one line, 0.3..1 (default 0.7).
sequenceinteger (1..)- The sequence; only needed when the project has several.
Discussion
Finds repeated attempts of the same line (retakes and false starts) in a sequence and the recordings it uses: groups of takes, best first, each with its words, a word-by-word difference from the best one, and quality (fillers, false starts, pauses, complete sentence, level, clipping, noise floor, pace). "improvable" groups would change with takes.use best. Needs transcripts. A read: it changes nothing.
Run it with wabcut-cli cmd <project> --json, from an MCP client as takes_find, or from an extension. See Edit commands for requests, references and results.

- takes.use
Use Take. Makes the sequence say a line once, with the chosen take: other takes of it on the timeline are removed with their pause, and a take that is not on the timeline replaces the first one there (linked video and audio, with small handles; what follows moves to fit).
