How to generate YouTube video descriptions that get you more views

Step 1

Upload or create your YouTube video

Create a new Descript project where you can either start recording a new YouTube video or upload an existing video. In either case, Descript will automatically produce a transcript that will be used to generate your YouTube description.

Step 2

Ask AI to write your YouTube Description

With your video and transcript in your Descript project, go to the Actions menu, select Ask AI, and pick YouTube description among the output options. Hit enter to get your YouTube description copy, including a title and chapters with timestamps, to help your audience navigate your video. You can refine the result by giving feedback around stuff like tone or specific keywords you want to include for YouTube SEO.

Step 3

Copy to clipboard and publish directly to YouTube

If you like the description, copy it by choosing the Copy to clipboard option and paste it in as you upload your video. You can also publish directly to YouTube from Descript by clicking Publish YouTube where you’ll be able to input your YouTube title and description before pushing your video live.
