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.
Cloud video compressor with target-size control and no watermark
Choose a simple preset from 30% to 90% smaller, or switch to advanced mode to control target file size, bitrate and resolution directly.
Handles MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, WMV and more than 30 other containers, so most files from phones, cameras and screen recorders work as-is.
Compression runs on remote servers, so it does not consume your device's CPU or memory, and uploaded data is described as deleted within 24 hours.
Drag and drop, choose a local file, import from Google Drive or Dropbox, or paste a video URL.
