TimeBolt is a desktop video editing application that automatically removes silence, filler words (ums, ahs), and bad takes using Waveform Cut Technology. It can jump cut an hour of video in 13 seconds and exports to Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Camtasia, and Banger.

How is TimeBolt different from Descript or Gling?

TimeBolt uses Waveform Cut Technology—analyzing actual audio waveforms instead of just AI transcriptions. This makes cuts 20x more precise. Ends of words don't get cut off, and you don't need a .20 second pad for sloppy cut starts. In benchmark testing, Descript required 10 minutes of cleanup on a 90-second clip while TimeBolt required 0. Gling missed 607 filler words per hour while TimeBolt caught them all.

What is the AI Labor Tax?

The AI Labor Tax is the hidden cost of AI-only video editors. We tested Descript, Gling, and Loom—they left 700 mistakes per hour. AI editors force you to fix what they miss. TimeBolt achieves a 1:1 edit ratio with 0 minutes repair time, while AI tools require 3:1 rework with 10+ minutes repair time.

How much does TimeBolt cost?

TimeBolt costs $97/year for a full license including the 4K screen recorder, automatic silence removal, and exports to all major NLEs. Umcheck (AI filler word detection) is $0.03/minute. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Does TimeBolt work offline?

Yes. TimeBolt works completely offline. All waveform analysis and editing happens on your device. The only feature requiring internet is Umcheck (AI filler word detection), which uses cloud transcription.

Umcheck is TimeBolt's AI-powered filler word detection feature. It identifies ums, ahs, repeats, and any unique word tic phrase you define, marking them for removal. It costs $0.03/minute and achieves 100% filler removal accuracy in benchmarks.

Can TimeBolt record video?

Yes. TimeBolt includes the best free 4K screen recorder for Mac and Windows with Smart Crop. Record webcam and screen, switch camera source live, with native 4K camera source support. Works completely offline.

What export formats does TimeBolt support?

TimeBolt exports MP4 video directly, or XML/project files for Adobe Premiere Pro (XML, XML-Sequence), Final Cut Pro (FCPXML with Multi-Cam support), DaVinci Resolve (XML with Integration), and Camtasia (TSCPROJ). You can also render as clips or send directly to Banger for instant shareable video links.

Does TimeBolt support captions?

Yes. TimeBolt can caption your video faster than you recorded it, using AI transcription to generate accurate captions that sync with your edited timeline.

What workflows does TimeBolt support?

TimeBolt supports 8 pillar workflows: Video Messaging (Banger), YouTube (scripted video 2-3x faster), Twitch (multi-track audio for commentary), Zoom (chaptered VOD), Vertical (for Shorts and CapCut), GoPro (action video with preview teasers), Podcast (Umcheck, subtopics, intro/outro stitching), and Conference (separate event videos with chapters).

Capture Smart. Cut Fast. For people who can't afford to be boring.

'My favorite quick editing tool. I don't think it's technically AI, but if editing is a bottleneck, this tool is a lifesaver'
