All-in-one video editing

Text-based editing makes it easy, your AI co-editor, Underlord, makes it fast. Create, edit, and share your video with Descript. It’s got all the tools you need.

Never edit alone

Underlord is your AI co-editor. Under your direction it can create a video or edit yours. It can give feedback and make suggestions. And it’s tireless, so you can keep pushing until you’re satisfied.

AI video editing for making something impressive

When you have an idea, a demo, or a pitch, Descript’s automatic design tools and AI generated video will make it engaging and polished. Your AI co-editor will help you make professional videos you’ll feel proud to share

Edit or generate a script

Underlord can write a script based on your prompt, then edit based on your feedback. Or it can read your script and give you feedback.

Give it a head-turning look

Apply Descript's professionally designed layouts and smart transitions in a click, or let Underlord design your video. To change the look, ask Underlord for new colors and fonts—boom, done.

Generate custom video

Create bespoke B-roll tailored to your content. Animate static images, visualize data, even make entire social videos from scratch. Generative video can do a lot—Descript lets you do a lot with it.

Want to do it yourself? That’s easy too.

Text-based editing

If you know how the backspace key works, or how to copy-and-paste, then you already know how to make video in Descript.

Instant elegance

With Descript’s scenes and layouts you can add and adjust visuals the same way you create slides in a presentation. The only real difference is, someone might actually watch your video.
