Descript – Edit Video Like Editing a Document
Descript – Edit Video Like Editing a Document
Edit Video by Editing Text.
That Simple.
The video editor that feels like Google Docs — intuitive, collaborative, and powered by AI.
What Is Descript?
Descript is a revolutionary video and podcast editor that replaces the traditional timeline with a text-based editing interface. Every word you speak is transcribed automatically — and editing the transcript edits your video. No timeline. No scrubbing. Just words.
Core Features
Text-Based Video Editing
Descript transcribes your recording instantly. Delete a word in the transcript — and that moment disappears from your video. Rearrange sentences to rearrange scenes. Edit like a writer, not a video editor.
Overdub — AI Voice Cloning
Made a mistake in your recording? Don’t re-record. Just type the correction and Descript’s Overdub AI speaks it in your exact voice — seamlessly inserted into your audio. Indistinguishable from the original.
Remove Filler Words in One Click
Descript automatically detects every “um,” “uh,” and “like” in your recording. Remove them all with a single click. Your content sounds polished and professional instantly.
Auto-Remove Silence
Eliminate awkward pauses and dead air automatically. Descript’s Smart Cut feature identifies and removes silences across your entire recording in seconds — tightening your edit without manual work.
Screen Recorder & Collaboration
Record your screen, webcam, or both. Invite collaborators to comment directly on the transcript, suggest edits, and review content — all in a shared workspace that works like Google Docs.
