Descript

Descript is a video and podcast editor that works like a text document. It transcribes your recording, and then you edit the video by editing the words. Delete a sentence from the transcript and it's gone from the video too.

What you can do with Descript

• Edit video and audio by editing the transcript
• Remove filler words like "um" and "uh" in one click
• Clean up bad audio with Studio Sound
• Record your screen and camera
• Add captions, and fix flubbed lines with AI voice
• Use the AI assistant Underlord to do edits for you

Who it's for

Descript is great for podcasters, YouTubers, course creators, and marketing teams who don't have time to learn a pro video editor. If you can edit a Google Doc, you can use it.

Pricing

There's a free plan with limited transcription and exports. Paid plans give you more transcription hours, higher export quality, and the full set of AI tools.

Alternatives to Descript

Other options are OpusClip for short clips, Runway for AI video effects, and HeyGen for avatar videos.
