> AI video editor that cuts bad takes, silences, and filler words

Gling is a desktop-focused video editing tool built specifically for talking-head creators and YouTubers. It automatically transcribes raw footage, identifies mistakes or repetitive takes, and cuts out awkward silences and filler words. Users can review the transcript to refine the cut before exporting directly to video editors like Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro.
