Comparison of AI Tools for Automatic Video Editing: Nuthead AI vs. Gling
In this article, we compare two AI tools for automatic video editing: Nuthead AI and Gling. Both tools have their own strengths and weaknesses. We will analyze which tool is best suited for different use cases and help you make the right choice for your workflow.
Functions and possible applications
What can these tools do? Both Gling and Nuthead AI edit videos with presenter recordings where a person in front of the camera reads a script. It is not necessary to follow the script perfectly; both tools find repeated parts and cut them out so that the final video is ready for polishing. 40 minutes of raw footage quickly becomes 12 minutes. This is ideal for YouTubers, businesses or freelancers who want to save time editing. It's like hiring an assistant to roughly prepare the video while you dedicate yourself to more creative tasks.
Our own experience and objectivity
We at Nuthead AI have done a lot of research on the subject ourselves and have set out to write an honest and objective article for this comparison. We don't want to badmouth or praise either side, but rather help you make a decision. Although both tools have the same core functionality, they have different visions, which can already be seen in the user interface.
User interface and operation
Gling is based on two views: the start view, in which you select the videos for the AI, and a view for refining the result. Here, as in Premiere Pro, you can shorten the video further based on the transcript, zoom into clips after cuts and use other AI features. Nuthead AI, on the other hand, only has an overview in which you can adjust everything. Once started, Final Cut opens automatically for further editing. Nuthead AI is therefore an entry point for further editing in Final Cut and not a stand-alone editor.
Support for Multiple Camera Angles
Pulling various clips into both tools reveals further differences. Gling does not offer direct support for multiple camera angles or individual audio tracks. These must be added manually in Final Cut and synchronized, which can be time-consuming. Nuthead AI, however, offers the option for "Additional Clips", such as screen recordings or additional camera angles, which are automatically synchronized. The result is a pre-edited file needing only fine-tuning. If you want to use more than one camera for your recordings, the workflow with Nuthead is definitely simpler.
Export Formats
When it comes to export formats, Gling is more versatile. It supports several common video editing programs like Final Cut, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. You can also directly export the finished edit as a video. Nuthead AI focuses primarily on Final Cut, offering optimized settings. You have more flexibility in adjusting the output formats to suit your workflow.
Post-Editing
Before we look at the quality of the results, let's quickly review the effort and options for post-editing. Gling offers an additional editing interface where you can edit the video based on text, similar to Premiere Pro. You can go through individual text lines and delete unnecessary ones. Nuthead AI opens Final Cut directly for further editing after processing. You already have to determine which camera angle should be visible when where you might want to insert a short pause, show B-roll, display text, and so on. In the same breath, you can cut out any remaining stutters or mistakes.
Quality of Results
Using a 40-minute video script as an example, the differences in results are apparent. Nuthead AI tends to cut more aggressively, removing more unnecessary material. Gling tends to cut less in this test. Both tools do not cut too much, and the results are not too far apart. Nonetheless, Nuthead AI takes the point here, as its results are closer to the optimum.
Data Security and Offline Use
Regarding data security and offline use, the tools have different approaches. Gling requires an internet connection for its functions, while Nuthead AI works entirely offline, processing all data locally on the device. This makes Nuthead AI particularly attractive for users who value data privacy or work in environments without reliable internet access. However, this also affects processing speed. Gling tends to be faster because powerful servers handle the heavy lifting. Meanwhile, you can perform parallel tasks like color grading or creating thumbnails.
Pricing Models
The tools follow different pricing models. Gling uses a subscription model, costing either 15 or 30 euros per month. If you pay annually, Gling costs 120€ or 240€ per year. Nuthead AI, on the other hand, costs nothing. You get a tool without usage restrictions and full control over your data for free.
Please note: For companies with more than 200 employees, we ask that you contact us to discuss enterprise options.
Additional Features
Gling offers additional integrated features such as audio cleaning and chapter creation. While other tools may perform these tasks better, it's convenient to have everything in one place. Nuthead AI can prepare video edits for HDR projects, considering resolution and frame rate from the start. This highlights the different focuses of the tools: Nuthead AI aims for a simplified workflow with minimal effort. You drag your videos into Nuthead instead of Final Cut, press start, and everything happens automatically, preparing the footage for fine-tuning. Gling, on the other hand, integrates many functions directly into the interface and offers the possibility to finalize videos within Gling.
Conclusion
If you regularly work with multiple camera angles or want to experiment with HDR workflows, are already proficient with Final Cut, and need a simple AI support tool, Nuthead AI is probably better for you. If you're a smaller YouTube creator who doesn't want to learn additional editing programs and needs a simple all-in-one solution, Gling is ideal for you.
