"I fired my editor and felt awful about it for about a week. Then I realized Glade was getting 18% more watch‑time than her cuts. We had a hard conversation and now she runs my channel strategy instead."

§ FAQ

Things creators actually ask us.

Does it actually replace my editor, or just speed them up?+
Both, depending on the editor. About 60% of solo creators end up offloading the full cut to Glade and reviewing in 10 minutes. Production teams typically keep the editor and use Glade to do the first 80% — the editor then polishes the last mile (taste calls, music swaps, brand‑specific motion graphics). We're a sharper saw, not a robot replacement.
What about copyright on AI‑generated b‑roll?+
All Glade b‑roll comes from a 2.4M‑clip library we license directly (Pexels‑Pro, Storyblocks‑Studio, and ~40 partner stock co‑ops). You get a per‑video license bundled with every export. We don't auto‑generate hallucinated imagery and we don't pull from open‑web scrapes.
Can I export to Premiere or Final Cut for final tweaks?+
Yes. Every project on Creator and Studio plans exports to FCPXML (Final Cut Pro X) and a Premiere‑compatible XML with all cuts, captions, b‑roll references, and grade applied as adjustment layers. Media moves as relative links so you can hand off a self‑contained folder.
How does the AI choose what to cut — is it learning my style?+
Yes. After your third edit, Glade builds a per‑channel "edit profile": your preferred cut tempo (cuts per minute), your typical b‑roll density, your captioning style, and the kinds of pauses you keep vs trim. The profile is private to your account and you can reset it in settings.
What's the longest video Glade can handle?+
90 minutes of source footage in a single project, at up to 4K 60fps. For very long source (e.g. 4‑hour conference recordings), most users break the day into 60–80‑min chunks and stitch the rendered cuts — total throughput is around 12 hours of input per day on the Studio plan.
