Which is the best AI video generator for creators and teams?
Descript stands out because it’s not just an AI video generator — it’s also a full editing platform. Teams can script, record, edit, and collaborate all in one place without switching between tools.
Can I use Descript to generate videos from text like other AI tools?
Yes — and more. Descript doesn’t just generate from text; it lets you edit, refine, and repurpose what AI creates. That means you can go from prompt to publish-ready content without restarting your project.

AI can think, talk, and make video. Does it have impostor syndrome too?
No, and that’s not fair. But if it did, Descript’s AI video editor would probably fix that with a quick rewrite. (this change is totally optional just thought it would be cool to tie it back to product with the same comical undertone)
