Fixing choppy audio in video editing on iPad Pro M4

I was trying to make a YouTube video yesterday. The audio has a lot of silence, or a break, amm.… I use the cut tool. To fix it on my ipad Pro M4. Since I had to cut a lot. It makes the video sound real choppy. Is there a way to fix this? Can Final Cut Pro fix this too? I want my audio sound smooth with out of so much choppy ness. I decided to get the iPad Pro for my computer. I like iPads and the IOS better. I just started my YouTube channel not long ago.

I do not edit video on an iPad, but I have done quite a few talking head videos in Final Cut Pro on the Mac.

There are several creative decisions you can make. It depends on the contents of the video and what you want to achieve. You may get away with simple cuts, and using a Flow transition, or a cross dissolve. In some cases, it is better to acknowledge that there was cut - add a fade to black transition to convey the notion that there was a gap in time. Sometimes, you can disguise hesitations or mistakes by using appropriate B-roll. For example, if you are doing a video of a presentation, you can use the presenter's slides as an easy way to add variety and cover up mistakes.


Also, if audio is bad at times, instead of total silence, find a piece of audio where there's just the room background noise, and use it.
