01
Open a new project and bring in your video file. For best results when you fix eye contact, ensure the subject’s face is large and well-lit. Descript automatically generates a transcript so you can clean up any slip-ups in both video and text.
02
Once your video is uploaded, apply the AI-powered effect that adjusts gazes toward the camera. You’ll want to be connected to the internet so the processing can happen quickly. If you’re sharing the frame with your cat, no promises—we specifically recommend one-person videos.
03
Next, add captions so viewers can read along—or watch with the sound off. Customize font, color, and size to match your brand or personal style. You’ll instantly have references to each speaker, so your audience knows who’s talking, all without fuss.
Keep it to a single person in the frame. Eye contact correction won’t work as well if multiple faces are jostling for attention.
Avoid harsh backlighting so you can fix eye contact accurately. Also, aim for minimal tilt or extreme angles to reduce the chance of digital distortion.
When you add captions, they’ll automatically link up with your transcription. Edit text, see it update instantly in your on-screen captions.
A direct gaze plus readable text equals audience connection.
Nothing’s more off-putting than wandering eyes. Locking eyes with the camera fosters trust, while captions open your content to everyone.
Adding captions expands reach to viewers who watch with sound off or are hearing impaired. Combine them with a direct look for maximum clarity.
Customize captions to reflect your style—fonts, sizes, or colors—while you fix eye contact for an on-point brand presence.
Apply the fix eye contact effect and captions in the same session. Transcripts, speaker labels, and editing all happen in one place, saving you serious time.
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.
