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.
AI-powered browser video editing and content creation for teams
Turn a short text prompt into a multi-layer video project with voiceover, visuals, music, subtitles, and characters that you can then refine in the editor.
Generate captions automatically, translate subtitles into 60+ languages, and dub dialogue into 40+ languages for global distribution.
Automatically remove silences and filler gaps from footage and clean up background noise and loudness in a single pass.
Edit on a shared timeline with real-time collaboration, comments, project link sharing, brand kits, and custom fonts.
