Underlord, its AI co-editor, plus Studio Sound, voice cloning and screen recording turn a single tool into a full production pipeline for creators and teams.
Text-based editing
Edit audio and video by deleting, rearranging or retyping words in the automatic transcript, with a full multitrack timeline available when you need it.
Underlord AI co-editor
Describe the edit you want in plain language and let the AI assistant assemble a tight cut, add clips and handle repetitive production work.
Studio Sound and speech regeneration
Remove background noise, level out voices, and fix misread lines with Regenerate Speech using a clone of your own voice.
Captions, translation and clip export
Generate subtitles and transcripts in a click, translate video into other languages, and reformat long recordings into shareable vertical clips.
強み・メリット
+Editing video by editing a transcript is dramatically faster than timeline scrubbing for interview, podcast and talking-head content
+Audio and visual AI features (Studio Sound, Eye Contact, Green Screen, Regenerate Speech) cover fixes that would otherwise need several tools
Recording, editing, captioning, translation and clip export all live in one workspace, reducing handoffs
+Remote Rooms recording and link-based review with time-coded comments suit distributed teams
+Strong enterprise story: SOC 2 Type II, SAML SSO, SCIM and GDPR-compliant data handling
制約・デメリット
–Heavy AI features and exports are gated behind paid plans, and free-tier limits are tight
–Long or complex projects with many tracks can feel heavier and slower than a dedicated non-linear editor
–Best results still come from clean source audio, so noisy recordings may need manual attention
–Advanced users who need granular effects and color work may still finish in another editor
–Billing is per seat, so costs add up quickly for large teams
