What is AI Text-Based Editing - Filmora?

Filmora's AI Text-based Editing allows you to edit videos by working with text instead of traditional timeline-based tools. You can convert speech in your video to text, edit that text, and have the video automatically adjust to match your changes. This removes the need to manually trim clips, adjust timing, or sync audio and video. The feature is designed for content creators, YouTubers, and anyone who finds traditional video editing software difficult to learn. It's particularly useful for removing filler words, correcting mistakes, or restructuring dialogue without re-recording.

Key features

automatically transcribes audio from your video into editable text

Text-based trimming

delete or edit words in the transcript and watch the video automatically shorten to match

Auto-sync

video and audio automatically adjust when you modify the text, eliminating manual syncing

Error correction

fix transcription mistakes or incorrect words directly in the text editor

Multi-language support
