What is Gling?
Gling is an AI video editor for YouTube creators that handles the first cut of a raw recording: it transcribes what you say, spots bad takes and removes silences and filler words. It's made by Gling Inc and used by YouTubers with audiences from the hundreds of thousands into the millions to save hours of editing.
How does Gling edit a video?
You upload video or audio, and the AI transcribes it, analyzes the text and automatically drops repeated takes, pauses and filler words. Then you review the result in a text-based editor: delete sentences as if it were a document or adjust clips on the timeline. It adds automatic captions, auto framing with zoom, noise removal, speech enhancement, generated B-roll and multicam editing.
What does Gling offer for YouTube growth?
It suggests titles with a better chance of performing, generates chapters from your content and proposes ideas for your next video. It also cuts short clips from long videos and can generate a video from a link.
Which editors does it work with?
It exports MP4, MP3 and SRT captions, or sends the edit to Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere via XML so you can keep working in your usual editor. It's designed for desktop use and has a desktop app.
