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 music mastering guided by plain-language prompts
Describe the result you want in words, such as wider stereo or more mid-range punch, and the AI engine builds the signal chain around your request rather than a fixed preset.
Paste a Spotify track to match its loudness, stereo width, and tonal balance, with each revision A/B-able against the previous version.
Separate vocals, drums, bass, and instruments to create clean acapellas, remix stems, or rehearsal backtracks at no cost.
Masters are tuned for Spotify, Apple Music, CD, and other targets, with supporting loudness penalty and LUFS meter tools to preview how services will treat your track.
