These companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Begin by creating or opening a project. Drag your video file into your workspace—whether it’s MP4, MOV, WMV, or another common format. Descript automatically keeps audio and visuals in sync, so you can worry less about mismatched lips and more about the final look.
02
Open your composition settings to see various dimension options—landscape (16:9), square (1:1), portrait (9:16), or go custom if you’re picky. Don’t sweat the resolution mismatch; the quality won't magically jump to 4K if you started with 1080p.
03
Once you’ve finished your edits, finalize the project. Download your video in up to 4K, or share it via a link. The actual resolution depends on your source files, so if the original footage was 720p, that’s the best you’ll see in export—no illusions here.
When you change video aspect ratio for one scene to upload on Instagram Stories, you can also make a version for YouTube by simply duplicating the project and applying a different ratio.
Do you want to show off vertical phone footage? Or maybe you’re after a cinematic widescreen? If none of the defaults tickle your fancy, set a custom width and height—unleash your rebellious side.
Changing your ratio doesn’t magically upgrade pixel quality. If you upsample a 1080p source to 4K, it’ll still look like 1080p. Keep that in mind when you share final videos—bigger numbers don’t mean better footage.
Because life's too short to just resize your content.
Cut, trim, and refine your footage without a labyrinth of menus. Edit right from your transcript, or fine-tune within a timeline.
Generate near-instant captions with AI transcription so your message is crystal clear—even with the sound off.
Build or pick from ready-made layouts to streamline repeat projects—perfect if you produce content for multiple platforms.
Share your final video as a link, embed it on a site, or publish directly to your favorite video platform in a few clicks.
With a 4.6-out-of-5-star rating and a bunch of distinctions on G2, Descript’s users have declared it an industry standard in the video and podcasting world.
