10x Your Video Editing Workflow - Gling AI Tutorial

Editing out bad takes and silences in your YouTube talking head video can take countless hours, but what if I told you that you could do this in less than half of the time by using an AI tool? In today's article, I'm going to show you how I easily save time with my editing workflow and use that saved time to focus on being creative. Let's get started.

Introducing Gling AI

The AI tool we’ll be using today is called Gling AI. I discovered this tool through the Premier Basics YouTube channel. If you use Premiere Pro, this is a great channel to check out. Gling AI is a fantastic tool for YouTubers and video editors who edit YouTube videos.

You get to use your first project with all the pro features for free. I managed to secure a deal where you can use two projects with all the pro features for free by using the link in the description box below.
