Download videoThese companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Paste a link to your video to start the download. Descript pulls the video into your project from supported URLs, including YouTube links. You can then move straight from "found it" to editing.
02
Choose the full video, or grab only the section you need for a quick clip. After importing, shorten it with Descript Video Cutter, or trim the video. This way, you're not editing extra seconds.
03
Download the video as a file, or share it as a link for review and approval — no re-upload. From there, edit in the video editor, add captions, or use the video converter to match your destination.
Use Descript as a video downloader to download videos from a link and jump straight into editing. Clean it up in the video editor, or use transcription to edit the video by editing the words on the page.
Need a YouTube video downloader workflow for repurposing? Pull in a YouTube video. Then, cut highlights for TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. Use the social media video maker to reshape clips and add captions for sound-off viewing.
Skip tool-hopping. Download the video, clip it with the video cutter and trimmer, and convert it with Descript's video converter to a different format — all in one workflow.
