If you want to trim your YouTube videos, you’re in the right place. Descript’s AI-powered video editing tools let you cut full, raw footage into tight videos in just a few clicks.
Descript is a YouTube video trimmer that will streamline your social media game, just like canned soup streamlined soup making. Highlight, copy and paste in the transcript to create short clips for social promotion. Add captions with a click, then animate them, change fonts and colors, or add waveforms, progress bars and other scroll-stopping effects. When you’re ready, publish in whatever aspect ratios works best on the social platform you’re bound for.
Drop your video file into Descript or paste in a YouTube link to upload it to a new project. Descript will automatically generate a transcript that stays synced with your timeline.
Once transcription is complete, all you have to do is delete the sections of text you don’t want. Descript will cut those sections from the video without losing any quality. You can also split your video into standalone clips by right-clicking and duplicating your selection to a new composition.
When you’ve trimmed as much as you want, you can directly publish your video to your YouTube channel and other supported platforms, or download your video file to upload to TikTok, Instagram, etc.

After cutting and splicing your video, add crossfades to smooth out your transitions. Descript automatically adds room tone when you insert a gap clip, so you can make cuts without jarring dead spots.
Overlay shapes in any hex color for watermarks and borders on your video. You use them to create graphics in Descript. Or add a lot of shapes to create the effect of alphabet-soup (with shapes instead of letters).
Descript’s Fancy Captions makes dynamic subtitles in a click. Choose the size, color, and font. Add animations for eye-catching playback, and upload your fonts to make on-brand video content.
Descript enables you to make cuts and upload videos to YouTube. Unfortunately, once you’ve created a YouTube URL, you can only make cuts with their online video editor if you want the same video URL. Luckily, the online YouTube video cutter in their studio works pretty well if you need to remove something.
YouTube videos exist in four dimensions (The fourth being the endless depth of the internet, or something. Have some soup.). Due to metaphors we’ve inherited from the old days of film editing, we use cropping and cutting to refer to visual and temporal alterations, respectively. Descript does both. Descript’s cropper capabilities let you resize your video to exceed the frame using zoom cues, making elements (like your face) more prominent while retaining video quality; or change the orientation and rearrange your elements just by clicking and dragging. That comes in handy when converting a video for iPhone or Android-based social apps.
You and your team can download Descript’s free version on any Windows or Mac computer and start collaborating. The first three hours of transcription are free with unlimited uploads. Upgrade to the $12/month Creator package for 10 monthly transcription hours and watermark-free uploads or the $24/month Pro package for 30 monthly transcription hours. Contact us, and we’ll negotiate the Enterprise package, including training, onboarding, and your own dedicated account representative, who definitely loves soup.
