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.

Google's rapid prototyping IDE and developer API workbench for building multimodal applications with Gemini models.
Allows developers to drop hours of video, multi-track audio files, high-resolution images, entire codebases, and multi-hundred-page PDFs directly into the prompt window with up to 1,000,000 tokens of shared context.
Provides direct access to Google's frontier reasoning and agentic models with granular controls over thinking tokens, temperature, function declarations, and strict JSON schema output validation.
Includes a dedicated `/live` studio interface for testing sub-second, bidirectional voice and screen/camera interactions powered by `gemini-3.8-live`, `gemini-3.8-live-extended-thinking`, and `gemini-3.5-live-translate-preview`.
Connects model responses to live Google Search results and Google Maps geospatial data with a single toggle, including 5,000 free grounded requests per month on Paid tiers before $14/1,000-query metering.
