How to make share-worthy video memes

Step 1

Create a new video project

In a new project in Descript, upload any media files you want to use in your meme video by dragging and dropping them into the timeline. You can also click the Media icon to add assets from Descript's library of stock images, videos, GIFs, and music. If your meme video requires a voice over, you can type out your script in the text editor and click Add speaker to start generating an AI voice.

Step 2

Edit your meme video

Start by setting your video’s aspect ratio in Descript to landscape, portrait, square, or something else. From there, our intuitive video editor offers a ton of options to create your meme video. You can add GIFs and GIF stickers of popular memes, apply the Green Screen effect to remove the background on videos or GIFs, and add transitions. You can also use AI to generate text, audio, and images—whatever you need to make an eye-catching video meme. Of course, captions are a key part of any great meme video. Click the Text icon to add your text, customize the style and placement, and let your creativity run wild.

Step 3

All done with editing? Click Publish to share your customer meme video as a web link or download it as a high resolution MP4 or GIF ready to upload to social media.
