Gling

A one-sentence summary

Gling is a desktop AI video editing tool designed for creators of YouTube videos, tutorials, and podcasts; it can automatically identify poor-quality shots, pauses, and filler words, and then use the script to carry out rough editing, add subtitles, reduce noise, and export the video.

Tool Introduction

Gling AI transforms the time-consuming process of rough editing of spoken content into a simple sequence that involves uploading the material, performing automatic analysis, correcting the text, and exporting the result. It is suitable for videos centered around spoken words; it is not a complete post-production system that can replace color grading, complex animations, visual effects, and professional mixing.

The product offers desktop applications for Windows and macOS, and it is possible to export the results as media files or to send them to Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve for further editing. The official website now also includes features such as video generation from links, AI-generated B-roll, and support for multiple cameras.

Main functions

Automatically delete faulty lenses

Gling analyzes the content of the speech, identifies repeated recordings, mistakes, or segments that are deemed unnecessary, and then creates a more concise initial timeline. It can automatically determine whether intentional pauses or the best expressions might have been deleted by accident; therefore, each segment needs to be checked carefully before export.

Remove pauses and filler words.

The tool can automatically remove long periods of silence as well as filler words such as “um” and “uh”, thereby reducing the time needed to identify the points where cuts should be made. Excessive thresholds can result in an unnatural speaking pace; it is necessary to retain appropriate pauses in tutorials, interviews, and content that conveys emotions.

Editing based on the script

After uploading, the system first transcribes the audio; the user can then modify the video by deleting or adjusting the text. Text editing is suitable for a rough editing of the spoken content, but for more complex sequences, it is still necessary to rely on previews and the traditional timeline to make decisions.

AI subtitles and SRT

Gling can automatically generate subtitles for the video, and it is also possible to export SRT subtitle files separately. Names, brands, numbers, and technical terms are prone to being misidentified; therefore, it is necessary to conduct a thorough review before publishing, as well as to check the timeline.

Automatic scaling and image composition

Auto Framing will automatically apply Zoom In or Zoom Out adjustments to improve the appearance of static video footage with minimal effort. However, the zoom levels, cropping areas, and frequency still need to be adjusted based on the position of the subject and the desired visual style.

Voice enhancement and noise reduction

Speech Audio Enhancement and noise processing are used to improve the clarity of speech and reduce background interference. Severe reverberation, clipping, or overlapping voices usually cannot be completely resolved through automatic correction.

Multi-camera editing

The package’s feature list includes Multicam Editing, which allows for the use of footage from multiple angles for the same content. The accuracy of synchronization can be affected by audio tracks, frame rate, and recording interruptions; it is advisable to test a longer project first.

AI B-roll

AI B-roll can provide supplementary visuals to support the content of speeches, thereby reducing the need to manually search for appropriate materials. Users must check whether these visuals are appropriate in terms of meaning, and ensure that the materials, individuals, brands, and related licensing rights are all in order.

YouTube content assistance

Gling can generate YouTube titles, chapter headings, and suggestions for upcoming videos. However, the titles and chapter headings still need to be adjusted based on the final edit, the channel’s focus, relevant keywords, and the actual timing.

Generate a video from a link

The current payment limit also indicates the character count for \"videos generated from a link\"; it is possible to create videos from the content of such links. The public pricing page does not provide a complete explanation regarding the supported websites, copyright checks, video styles, or character count conversions; therefore, it is advisable to conduct tests on a small scale before using this feature.

Input and output

Complete workflow

1. Install Gling on Windows or macOS and log in to your account.
2. Create a project and import voice-over videos, audio files, or multi-camera footage that needs to be synchronized.
3. Select the language and enable automatic processing so that the system can transcribe and identify poor takes, silence, and filler words.
4. Review the script, restore accidentally deleted sections, and manually adjust any unnatural cutting points.
5. Proofread the subtitles, and add automatic composition, B-roll, and voice enhancement as needed.
6. Full preview of the video, audio, subtitles, and switching between multiple cameras, to check synchronization and rhythm.
7. Export directly as MP4, MP3, or SRT, or export the timeline to a professional editor for further refinement.

Usage tutorial

Edit the first voiceover video

1. Choose a short clip with clear audio and a single person facing the camera for the initial test.
2. Let Gling automatically remove bad takes, long silences, and filler words, but don’t confirm them in bulk yet.
3. Play the AI timeline from the beginning and check each sentence to see if the beginning, end, and pauses are truncated.
4. Use the text draft to delete sentences that are not desired and restore segments that were wrongly removed.
5. Control the frequency of automatic zooming to prevent visual fatigue caused by continuous changes in the lens focus.
6. After exporting the low-resolution sample for inspection, the final file is generated.

Create and export subtitles

1. After completing the rough editing, regenerate or refresh the subtitles so that the timeline matches the final footage.
2. Check each sentence for names, product names, numbers, English abbreviations, and punctuation.
3. Adjust the line breaks of long subtitles to ensure easy reading on mobile devices as well.
4. Check that the subtitles do not cover the faces of the people, the interface buttons, or the secure areas of the platform.
5. If a subtitle track for the platform is required, export an SRT file; if the subtitles need to be burned into the video, output the video directly.

Transfer to a professional editor for further refinement.

1. In Gling, complete the rough editing of the content and keep the original files in their original locations; do not move the files ahead of time.
2. Check the frame rate, resolution, audio sample rate of the video clips, as well as the synchronization among multiple cameras.
3. Select to export the timeline using Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
4. Re-link the media in the target editor and check each cut point and audio track.
5. Continue with color grading, dynamic graphics, meticulous mixing, brand packaging, and delivery coding.

Summary

Gling is ideal for delegating to AI the most mechanical tasks related to video editing, such as rough cutting, adding subtitles, and handling audio; the creator can then focus on adjusting the rhythm and verifying the facts. For teams that already use Premiere, Final Cut, or Resolve for their editing work, exporting the timeline is particularly useful.

When making a purchase, it is necessary to estimate the cost based on the actual amount of footage per month rather than the total length of the final video. It is also important to understand the rules regarding link generation, quota resets, system requirements, and data deletion. The free version is sufficient for conducting trial tests before deciding whether to upgrade.
