BeamTake/Alternatives/Gling alternative
A Gling alternative for vertical clips, right in the browser
Gling is a desktop rough-cut editor for YouTubers: it removes bad takes and silences and hands a timeline to your NLE. BeamTake takes it from there for short-form: vertical clips framed on the speaker, captioned, cleaned and scheduled, without installing anything.
