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 any video or audio into accurate, timestamped text in seconds
Drop in an MP4, MOV, AVI or MKV file, paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X or Facebook URL, or record straight from the browser microphone.
Every line maps back to its exact moment in the video, and multi-speaker recordings such as interviews, panels and meetings can label who said what.
Transcribe speech in more than 200 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Chinese, then translate segments for multilingual captions.
Polish names and technical terms in the editor, then copy the text or export TXT, SRT, VTT and DOCX files suitable for captions and documentation.
