Dailies vs GlingThe Gling alternative for people who have calls to cut, not raw footage they filmed
Gling and Dailies agree on one thing: nobody should have to cut out their own “ums” by hand. Gling applies that to the raw footage of YouTubers. Its desktop application removes bad takes, silences and filler words from the files you filmed, hands over a clean cut to finish in your editing software, and also makes short clips. Dailies applies it to calls. It records the ones you hold in Chrome, picks the best passages itself and delivers captioned vertical shorts with the silences, filler words and false starts already gone. One begins after you have filmed; the other begins with a call you were holding anyway.

What Gling does
Gling is AI video editing software for YouTubers, and its site states that it is designed exclusively for desktop. It works on the video and audio files you recorded: it removes bad takes, silences and filler words, and lets you trim the rest by editing the text. It also removes background noise, adds AI captions and subtitles in one click, and zooms in and out automatically on key moments, which it calls auto framing. Its AI short clips turn long videos into clips with captions, B-roll and zoom effects, and its site lists a tool that generates a video from a link. For YouTube, it generates titles and chapters and suggests next videos. You export an MP4 or an MP3 with SRT captions, or a timeline for Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere.
Where Dailies and Gling differ
Raw footage, or a call
Gling starts once you have filmed: it is a desktop application that works on the video and audio files you bring. We found no call recording and no Zoom, Google Meet or Teams import on the pages we read, so a call would first be recorded by the platform and saved as a file. Dailies is a Chrome extension that does the recording: the call tab, your microphone and your webcam. No bot joins the call.
A rough cut to finish, or a short to post
Gling cleans the edit of a long video and exports it as a file, or as a timeline for Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere, where the work can go on. That fits a YouTuber who already edits. Dailies delivers the end product: up to eight vertical 9:16 shorts per call, reframed on whoever speaks, with animated captions burned in and a line above each one giving the question it answers.
The same clean-up, on different material
Both remove silences and filler words. Gling also removes bad takes, which belong to a video filmed on purpose. A call has no takes, and it has a second person: Dailies cuts false starts, shows your webcam or your guest’s tile cropped on their face, and has one switch that blurs your guests and disguises their voice. The Gling pages we read describe zooms on key moments; they do not describe vertical reframing on a speaker or a layout for two people, hence the “not stated” in the table.
What Gling does that Dailies does not
Editing any file you filmed, long videos included, trimming through the text, noise removal, B-roll in its clips, YouTube titles and chapters, and exports to Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere. Dailies does none of this. It makes shorts only from the calls it recorded, and you download each one in Full HD to post it yourself.
Questions people ask
Can Gling record a Zoom, Google Meet or Teams call?
We found no call recording on the Gling pages we read. Gling is a desktop application that works on video and audio files you already have, and those pages mention no Zoom, Meet or Teams import. Dailies records the call itself, from a Chrome extension.
Does Gling make short clips?
Yes. Its AI short clips turn long videos into clips with captions, B-roll and zoom effects. The pages we read do not state how many clips it returns, or whether they are reframed vertically on the speaker. Dailies delivers up to eight vertical 9:16 shorts per call, reframed on whoever speaks.
Is Dailies a Gling alternative for editing YouTube videos?
No. Dailies does not edit a video you filmed or uploaded, and exports no timeline to editing software: it only makes shorts from the calls it records in Chrome. For a long YouTube video to clean up, Gling is the tool built for the job.
Does Gling run in a browser?
Its site states that Gling is designed exclusively for desktop. Dailies is a Chrome extension: it records the calls you hold in Chrome on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom’s web client.
Does Gling work in French?
The pages we read do not list the languages of its captions or of its interface, so the table says “not stated”. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed, and its extension’s interface is in French.
Your next call already holds your next shorts.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
