Gling

Gling is an AI video generation and editing program that is very handy if you create audiovisual content and you are looking to optimize your workflow. Without needing to review hours of raw recordings, this tool offers functionalities to execute automated processes similar to those of alternatives like Descript. You can analyze the audio of your videos or transcribe the content with relative ease and, from there, apply smart cuts that will trim all the fat in a matter of seconds.

Optimization tools for YouTube

As soon as you open Gling, you will see that the program is designed to boost your projects' visibility on digital platforms. The app will present you with AI features focused on YouTube SEO, like an automatic catchy title generator and chapter marker creators based on the video's context. At the same time, you can benefit from features to enhance audience retention through automatic suggestions for upcoming videos and create dynamic subtitles in one click. The final result for each project can be exported directly in various formats such as MP4 or by generating XML files compatible with Premiere, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.

My thoughts on Gling

When I tested the free version of Gling on my PC, I loaded a 20-minute long raw video. After a few moments, the interface showed me the transcribed text with red marks indicating all the silences and discarded takes. With a single click, the tool cleaned up the footage and reduced the video to 12 minutes of smoother content. I tested out the text-based editing by removing a couple of redundant phrases from the transcript, and the cut in the video was made instantly and quite cleanly. Although auto-reframing sometimes requires some manual adjustment if you move too quickly, the time you save in the initial editing phase is worth noting.

What I liked most about Gling and what could be improved

• What I liked most: The detection and suppression of filler words and silences is very precise. I also appreciated the ability to export the project in XML format to continue editing in Premiere or DaVinci Resolve.

• What could be improved: The free version allows for one hour of edited content per month, but it exports videos with a visible watermark, so you'll have to dig into your pockets if you are looking for a direct commercial result without resorting to external software.
