How to create social media videos for any platform

Step 1

Open a new video project

Fire up Descript and create a new project. Drag and drop your video or audio files in to upload them and Descript will transcribe them. With Descript's text-based editing, you can cut, copy, and paste your video just like editing a document. Edit the transcript, or highlight sections and apply actions from the Actions menu, and your video will follow suit.

Step 2

Edit your social media video

Choose a social media video layout from our Templates library or create your own to make it easier to create consistent, branded videos optimized for specific platforms. Add captions, text, transitions, and GIFs or sound effects from our stock media library to help your video capture and keep more attention in social feeds.

Step 3

Export your social clips in multiple formats

You can duplicate your video or just specific parts into new compositions to create multiple social media clips in bulk for different sizes and formats. You can change the aspect ratio to portrait, landscape, square, or something else depending on where you’ll be posting it. When your social media clips are ready, you can click Publish to export your compositions all at once or one at a time.
