Need to prepare a cleaner spoken-audio edit for a creator upload, presentation, or another audience? Bleep That Sh*t creates a timed transcript and likely profanity matches for review. You choose the words or ranges to censor and preview the export. For the complete workflow, see the video cleanup workflow; for podcasts or voice-only files, use the audio workflow.
How It Works
1. Upload Your Video
On a capable desktop, browser mode directly accepts MP4 or MOV and does not upload the media for processing. Studio also accepts WebM and is the upload-based path for phones, saved projects, and longer recordings.
2. Select Words to Bleep
AI-assisted suggestions: Generate a timed transcript, then apply a profanity list or pattern matching to suggest likely transcript matches. Read the full transcript and add missed ranges manually.
Manual selection: Click words directly in the transcript to toggle them for bleeping.
Timeline selection: Select specific time ranges for non-word sounds or precise control.
3. Choose Your Bleep Sound
- Classic bleep — the iconic TV censor tone
- Silence — mutes without drawing attention
- Fun sounds — dolphin chirps, T-Rex roar
Adjust volume and buffer time as needed.
4. Export
Click "Apply Bleeps," preview the result, and download. The edited media is re-rendered, so inspect audio timing, video playback, and output quality before publishing. Start in Bleep Studio when you are ready to censor your clip.
