Edit Your Video by Editing Its Transcript
Plumely transcribes your video right on your device, then lets you edit it like a document: select a sentence, delete it, and the underlying footage — and its captions — cut together. It's the fastest way to tighten a talking-head clip.
Everything runs on your device. Your videos are never uploaded — there's no server to upload to.
Best in Chrome & Edge on desktop.
Delete words, cut the video
Selecting and deleting words removes the matching footage and closes the gap; undo restores the video and captions together in one step.
Remove filler words in one click
Automatically find “um”, “uh”, “you know” and friends across the transcript and cut them all at once — snapped to word boundaries so nothing clips mid-syllable.
Trim dead air
Detect silences between words and trim them to a natural pause, tightening pacing without manual scrubbing.
Private and on-device
- Transcription runs locally (Whisper) — free, 13 languages
- Editing the transcript is a Pro feature; auto-captions stay free
- Nothing is uploaded
- Export MP4 with no watermark
FAQ
Is transcription free?+
Yes — generating the transcript/captions runs on your device and is free. Editing your video by editing the transcript (delete, remove fillers, trim silences) is a Pro feature.
Does deleting text really cut the video?+
Yes. Each word maps to a moment in the footage, so removing words removes that footage and closes the gap — captions included.
Is my video uploaded?+
No. Both the transcription and the edit happen locally in your browser.
Does undo restore everything?+
Yes — one undo puts back both the footage and the captions.
