Video and podcast editor where you cut recordings by editing their transcript, with screen recording and AI audio cleanup
Descript turns editing into writing. You record or import video or audio, Descript transcribes it, and cutting a sentence from the transcript cuts it from the recording. It also records your screen, runs remote recording sessions in Rooms, removes filler words and cleans up sound with Studio Sound.
It suits founders making product demos, tutorials, podcasts or social clips without editing experience. Underlord, its AI co-editor, can do many editing steps for you, and AI Speech can generate lines in a clone of your own voice.
Media hours are the limit to watch, because they count every minute you import or record. Hobbyist includes 10 hours a month, Creator 30 and Business 40 per editor, and top-ups are available from Creator up.
