Auto-Remove Filler Words & Pauses in One Click
Dadan’s AI removes filler words and detects silent pauses automatically. Before AI removes the pauses, you can review their duration using a slider.All of this happens at the click of a button, so you don’t have to sit and watch the entire recording and do it manually.
Export in All Aspect Ratios
Once your clip is ready, export it in the required aspect ratio – Square (1:1), Story (9:16), or Landscape (16:9). Whether your audience is on Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn, your clips are perfectly aligned with the platform.
Turn Highlights Into Short Clips
Creating clips from full-length videos is a manual and frustrating process. But with our AI, you automatically get 5-10 key video moments with title and description.
You can also do it manually by selecting the transcript text and hitting the Create Clip button.

Everything You Need to Edit Videos Using Text
Automatic Transcription
Manually typing video transcription is such a productivity killer. Use AI to turn your spoken words into a highly accurate, searchable transcript. Edit the transcript to enhance your video, share the transcript with viewers, or repurpose it into blogs.
Reorder Segments
Reordering video segments leaves you scrubbing the playhead back and forth. Not anymore. With our Reorder Segment feature, you can rearrange video parts by simply dragging and dropping paragraphs in the transcript. The result? You get a precise flow with hassle-free control.
Mute Words
Want to remove sensitive info, awkward phrases, or unwanted chatter? Just highlight the text in the transcript and click 'Mute.' The audio disappears smoothly, keeping your video clean, like it was never there.
Auto Captions
Upload the transcript to the video to generate captions automatically. Your videos are easier to follow that way. Especially on social platforms, where viewers can still watch your video with the audio off.
