Edit video and podcasts by editing text
Edit audio and video by deleting, rearranging or retyping words in the automatic transcript, with a full multitrack timeline available when you need it.
Describe the edit you want in plain language and let the AI assistant assemble a tight cut, add clips and handle repetitive production work.
Remove background noise, level out voices, and fix misread lines with Regenerate Speech using a clone of your own voice.
Generate subtitles and transcripts in a click, translate video into other languages, and reformat long recordings into shareable vertical clips.
Turn raw footage into captioned TikToks, Reels and Shorts in minutes
Speech is transcribed and turned into on-screen captions, with animated caption styles for higher watch-through on short-form platforms.
Edit by deleting words in the transcript instead of scrubbing a timeline, which makes cutting filler and false starts much faster.
The AI detects silent stretches, long pauses and repetitive content and removes them while keeping the narrative intact.
On higher tiers the editor automatically selects and inserts supporting footage, images and animated GIFs to keep viewers engaged.
