About Gling
Gling is an AI-powered video editing tool built for YouTube creators producing talking-head content. Automatically cuts bad takes, removes silences, and detects filler words—turning hours of editing into minutes.
Text-Based Editing lets you edit videos by modifying the auto-generated transcript like a document. Delete words or sentences and the video cuts accordingly. Custom Stoplist (2026 update) recognizes regional filler word habits beyond standard "um" and "uh."
Automatic Zooms & Punch-ins apply dynamic zooms (1.1x-1.2x) on key sentences, simulating multi-camera setups. Noise Removal cleans up background audio. Automatic Caption Generation for accessibility and engagement.
Export cleaned timelines to Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro via XML/EDL. Direct export as MP4, MP3, and SRT subtitles. YouTube Optimization tools: title generator, chapter generator, and future video idea suggestions.
Web-based platform supporting vertical videos for TikTok and Instagram short-form content.
Free: 1 project/month, 1 hour AI-edited media. Plus ($15/mo): 10 hours/month, unlimited watermark-free exports. Pro ($30/mo): 30 hours/month, unlimited projects, priority 4K rendering, premium support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What is text-based editing?
Edit your video by modifying the auto-generated transcript like a document. Delete words, sentences, or sections from the text, and Gling automatically cuts the corresponding video. Dramatically faster than traditional timeline editing for talking-head content.
Q:What is Custom Stoplist?
A 2026 feature that lets you define regional filler words and verbal habits specific to your speech patterns. Goes beyond standard "um" and "uh" detection to recognize your unique filler words for more accurate automatic removal.
Q:How much does Gling cost?
Free: 1 project/month, 1 hour AI-edited media. Plus ($15/mo): 10 hours, unlimited exports. Pro ($30/mo): 30 hours, unlimited projects, priority 4K rendering, premium support.
Q:Can I use Gling with my existing editor?
Yes—Gling exports XML/EDL timelines for Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro. Also exports MP4, MP3, and SRT subtitles. Use Gling for rough cuts, then finish in your preferred NLE.
