What Gling does

Edits YouTube recordings with AI: cuts bad takes, silences and filler words, trims by transcript, adds captions and zooms, then exports media files or XML for other editors.

Gling is a video editing tool for YouTube creators. According to its homepage, it is designed exclusively for desktop. It uses AI to cut bad takes, silences and filler words from a recording. It also has a text-based trimmer, so you can shorten a video by working with its transcript instead of the timeline.

Besides cutting, the feature list covers background noise removal, automatic captions and subtitles with SRT export, automatic zoom in and out framing, multicam editing, and a generator for YouTube chapters. Finished work can be exported straight to MP4 or MP3 files, or sent to Premiere, Final Cut Pro and Resolve through XML, so it can work alongside a full editor.

Pricing is freemium. Prices on the pricing page are shown with a dollar sign. The Free plan costs $0 and includes 1 hour of AI edited media per month, with unlimited exports that carry a watermark. Plus costs $20 per month billed monthly or $10 per month billed yearly. It includes 10 hours of AI edited media, or 300 words of generated video from a link, or a combination, per month. The plan called pro costs $40 per month billed monthly or $20 per month billed yearly, with 30 hours or 900 words. ELITE costs $100 per month billed monthly or $50 per month billed yearly, with 100 hours or 2700 words. Paid plans export without a watermark. pro and ELITE include premium support, while Free and Plus do not.

Our take

Gling fits YouTube creators who record talking-style footage and want the repetitive work of removing bad takes, pauses and filler words done automatically before any manual polish. Because it can export XML for Premiere, Final Cut Pro and Resolve, it can sit in front of an editor you already use. It is a weaker fit for anyone who needs a web or mobile app: the homepage says it is designed exclusively for desktop, and the pages do not name supported operating systems. The Free plan gives only 1 hour of AI edited media per month and adds a watermark to exports, so regular publishers will likely need a paid plan. Plus has no premium support, which only starts at the plan called pro. The pages do not state a free trial, so the Free plan is the way to try it.
