Gling is an AI video editing tool built for YouTube creators. It works from a transcript of your raw recording, then removes bad takes, silences, and filler words automatically so the first rough cut is done before you open a timeline. The company describes it as designed exclusively for desktop, and it sends the download link to the address you enter.
Beyond cutting, the product covers captions, noise removal, automatic zoom framing, short clips, and YouTube-oriented extras such as title and chapter generation. It can also generate a video from a link. Its pitch is speed: the homepage claims editing up to 10x faster using AI. The testimonials come from YouTube creators, which matches the stated focus on spoken, long-form content.
The workflow has three steps. First, you upload a raw recording. Gling transcribes the speech, analyzes the text, and removes unwanted takes and silences. It accepts video and audio files, and audio can be used for voiceover. You can add multiple files to one project, in horizontal or vertical format. Supported codecs include aac, h264, mp3, opus, vp9, and av1, among others.
Second, you review the AI-edited result and refine it by changing parts of the text or removing clips from the timeline. Third, you export. Gling can send the edit to Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Adobe Premiere, or export MP4 or MP3 files with captions as a separate SRT file. Speech is the key input, so videos without speech are a poor fit.
Editing features include removal of bad takes, silences, and filler words, plus a text-based trimmer that lets you cut by editing the transcript. Noise removal and speech audio enhancement clean up sound. Multicam editing and AI B-rolls are listed among the key features on every plan. Auto framing adds zoom in and zoom out moves to keep long talking-head shots visually varied.
For publishing, Gling generates captions and subtitles, YouTube titles, automated chapters, and next video suggestions. It also creates AI short clips and can generate a video from any link. Speech in many languages is supported, including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Arabic, though the app interface itself is in English. Subtitles export as .SRT files, separately from the video.
