Please edit product videos so we hear and see product information and not host banter.

Ha, that may be difficult to weed out the banter; very few give actual information about the products.

@Gabidog I seriously doubt QVC would hire a person(s) to edit videos.

I do understand how the banter can be annoying but this is why I like the videos. I just use the bar right under the video and scroll it forward a minute or two and this will skip whatever you want.

I usually watch the videos very closely before purchasing and the banter is not nearly as annoying as watching live as you can fast forward through it. Try it, it works very well.

@Gabidog I understand you may be annoyed, but I seriously doubt paying a tech person to play with past videos would lead to more than enough new sales to pay for the cost.

When the host has a voice or banter that I don't like, I just mute the presentation and concentrate on the product.

I can think of several reasons why this would be impractical, the primary one being the time it would take.

Who's to decide what is useless banter and what is helpful information?

Don't think it's going to happen.

This is something AI could be trained to do. For instance, " cut X minutes of audio after the phrase "my daughters......." However, I don't know how to account for the Delco accent. /s

@Gabidog

You want a three second video?!?!?!?

( Just kidding!!!....that's what would be left if you edited out all the daughter-blab, vacation, happiest place on earth, "centering' guidance, petting fabric, health advice from non qualified hosts,, squeezing meats, or rolling moist coffee cake dough into a ball.....!!!)
