Chat-based video editing
Describe trims, scene changes, cleanup, or other edits in chat, then refine the result manually in the timeline when needed.
Async
Async is a browser-based AI video and audio production suite for creators and teams. It combines chat-based and timeline editing with recording, captions, audio cleanup, AI generation, localization, and short-form repurposing tools.
AI video and audio production in one browser workspace
Async is a browser-based AI creative suite for producing video and audio content. Its central workflow combines chat-based editing with a manual timeline, so users can start from uploaded footage or generated media, describe the desired changes, and make precise adjustments when necessary.
The platform covers the path from recording and rough-cut cleanup to captions, audio treatment, AI-generated visuals or music, short-form repurposing, and publishing-oriented formatting. It is designed for individual creators and teams that want to produce ads, podcasts, interviews, social clips, explainers, vlogs, and similar video formats in one workspace.
Core features
Timeline editing and rough-cut cleanup
Split, trim, reorder, hide, or mute footage, and remove filler, pauses, repeats, and weak takes from longer recordings.
Captions, translation, and dubbing
Generate subtitles, adjust their styling and line breaks, translate them, and use dubbing tools to adapt videos for other languages.
Repurposing and reformatting
Create short-form clips from longer videos and reframe or resize content for formats used by TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and other platforms.
AI production tools
Use AI tools for background removal, color grading, video enhancement, cinematic blur, eye-contact correction, audio cleanup, B-roll, music, sound effects, and generated footage.
Browser recording studio
Record in a browser with invited guests, 4K video, uncompressed WAV audio, and separate tracks for each speaker that are stored in the cloud for editing.
Practical use cases
Podcasts and remote interviews
Record a remote conversation in the browser with invited guests, capture separate tracks, and move the saved recordings into the editor for cleanup and assembly.
Long-form content production
Upload a long recording, remove pauses and repeated takes, clean up background noise, add captions, and produce a finished episode or video.
Social clip repurposing
Find strong moments in podcasts, webinars, interviews, or recordings and turn them into captioned, reframed clips for short-form social channels and ads.
Explainers, ads, and generated scenes
Create or patch visual and audio material with generated B-roll, footage, music, sound effects, or voice tools, then combine it with existing footage in the edit.
Localized and multi-format publishing
Translate and dub an existing video, add subtitles, and adapt its framing for different platforms or audiences without rebuilding the whole project.
