Descript does everything. So you only need (and only need to pay for) a single app.
Capture
Some footage you shot. A script you wrote. A Zoom call. Whatever you've got, drop it in. Descript transcribes it—then you're off and editing.
Edit
Edit your words to edit your video. Copy-paste, drag-and-drop—you already know how to do this. The timeline's there if you need it.
Share
Send a link. Your team leaves timestamped comments right on the video. No exports, no reply-all chains, no "which version?" madness.
Multiply
One video, every destination. Translate into almost any language. Reformat for YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, whatever else they come up with.
Templates
Get an instant rough cut
Just pick a template, and let your AI co-editor, Underlord, take the first pass: cuts, cleanup, captions, clips. Fine-tune until it’s perfect (or close enough).
Frequently asked questions
Can Descript fix bad lighting in a video I already recorded?
Yes. Descript's AI adjusts the lighting on your face and scene after the fact, so a dim webcam clip looks like it had a proper setup—and color adjustments handle the white balance and grade.
How do I clean up audio without a good microphone?
Studio Sound removes background noise and echo and evens out your levels in one pass. For audio that's too far gone, Regenerate rebuilds it.
Can I make it look like I'm looking at the camera even if I was reading a script?
Yes. Eye Contact uses AI to adjust your gaze toward the lens, so reading off-screen doesn't show.
Do I need editing experience to use these tools?
None. Most run in a click or two, and you edit video by editing text, not dragging clips on a timeline.
Will the AI edits look obviously AI?
They shouldn't. The goal is video that looks like you shot it right in the room—not footage that looks processed. Every AI edit has controls, so you adjust as necessary.
Does this work on footage I already have, or do I need to reshoot?
It works on whatever you've got. Phone footage, Zoom recordings, screen captures—upload it and fix it from there. That's the point: hit record, Descript's got the rest.
Is Descript an AI video enhancer or a video editor?
Both. The polish tools fix lighting, sound, and cuts in a click; underneath is a full editor where you edit video by editing text.
