With Descript, editing your MP4 files is easy — not just for you, but for all of your collaborators. Descript gives you online video editing just like a Google Doc.

Descript’s all-in-one video editor makes it incredibly easy to edit your MP4 video files.
Upload your MP4 files by simply dropping them into a new video project in Descript. Alternatively, you can record your screen, camera, and mic directly into your project, or add media from our built-in stock library. Descript will generate a transcript you can use for faster video editing.
Using the transcript, edit your MP4 file by simply deleting, cutting, and rearranging the text like a doc to make those edits to your video. There’s also a timeline editor and canvas to edit specific media layers, apply AI effects, or create time-saving templates.
When you’re satisfied with your video, click Publish to export your polished MP4. You can download your MP4 file or publish it directly to a supported platform like YouTube, Wistia, or eWebinar.

Descript offers video editing on both the paid and free versions of the app. Only videos edited and exported in Free accounts will have a Descript watermark.
