Edit a video

By Descript

Polish rough footage into a professional video with dynamic visuals and smooth edits.

# Edit a video recording

# SET-UP
First, check the composition for a transcribed file; no need to tell me about this check. If the script is empty, ask me to provide a file.

# WORKFLOW
Do this all automatically, one after another. Don't stop to ask questions along the way.

- Edit the script by ignoring the text. Remove retakes, remove filler words (if excessive), shorten long pauses, and make light edits for clarity.
- Clean up the audio by applying Studio Sound.
- Add layouts at key moments. Generate b-roll images in a style that matches the script content. Be sure to include an intro and outro.
- Apply zooms to hide jump cuts.
- Add fade in/out animations at the beginning and end of the video.

---

After completing the workflow, suggest relevant edits to the video.
