Stay connected with your viewers. Descript’s AI keeps your gaze on the camera naturally — even when you’re reading a script or glancing at notes.
Get startedThese companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Upload or record your video
Start a new project in Descript or import an existing video. Eye Contact works best with a single speaker in frame and both eyes clearly visible.
02
Toggle on Eye Contact
Click to apply the AI effect. Descript subtly redirects your gaze toward the camera, making it look like you were focused on your audience the whole time.
03
Preview and export
Watch your updated video, adjust if needed, and export in HD. Eye Contact is non-destructive — you can turn it on or off anytime.
Face the camera
Keep your face centered and front-facing for the most realistic results.
Move naturally
Glances away are fine, but constant head turns can look less authentic.
Light it right
Even, soft lighting ensures your eyes are visible and reduces glare from glasses.
Eye Contact is just the start. Descript gives you a full set of AI-powered editing tools to make your videos sound and look professional.
Studio Sound
Eliminate background noise and enhance vocal clarity in one click.
Green Screen
Remove or replace your background for a polished or whimsical look—no actual green screen required.
Filler Word Removal
Say goodbye to “um,” “uh,” and other hesitations with a quick automated scrub.
Text-based Editing
Edit your video by editing the transcript, making it as simple as fixing a typo in a document.
