Tighten or stretch one natural silence PUT

Lengthen (delta_ms > 0) or shorten (< 0) the natural silence after the word ending at at_audio_ms (audio-file ms); 0 removes the trim; at most 5000 ms either way.

Set the pauses of a script block PUT

Set a block's pacing: a pause is SILENCE inserted into the voice-over timeline at a point in the text, so the words after it are heard later (the editor's pause chips).
