How do I stop Opus from cutting at weird sentence breaks?

Hey everyone, I've been trying out Opus Clip to chop up my longer DevOps tutorial videos into shorts. The AI is mostly great at finding the highlights, but I keep running into one super annoying issue: it keeps cutting clips in the middle of a sentence!

For example, I had a clip where I was saying, "To avoid this, we'll configure the pipeline to..." and Opus cut it right at "pipeline toβ€”". The next clip starts mid-thought, which just sounds broken. It seems to prioritize a set clip length over natural language breaks.

I'm using the default settings. My workflow is pretty simple: I upload a 10-minute screen recording of a Jenkins pipeline tutorial, and let Opus do its thing.

```yaml
# Not really a config file, but this is the kind of flow I'm talking about.
source: tutorial_long.mp4
target: multiple_shorts
settings: default
```

Has anyone else dealt with this? Are there specific settings for sentence or pause detection that I'm missing? In CI/CD, if a pipeline breaks, you check the logs. Is there any kind of "log" or adjustment for the cutting logic?

I'm hoping for a more predictable output, kinda like how a good pipeline only deploys after all tests pass 😅. Any tips from your workflows would be awesome.
