About
Descript
Descript flipped video editing on its head—edit video like you edit text. Delete a word in the transcript? That part vanishes from the video. Rearrange sentences? The video rearranges too. It's mind-blowing for podcast and talking-head content. Plus, features like overdub (fixing mistakes with AI voice cloning) and studio sound make it feel like magic.
The text-based approach is revolutionary for speech-driven content, but it's less intuitive for visual storytelling. While they're adding more traditional features, it still feels most natural when your narrative follows a transcript. Complex visual effects and color grading? Not really Descript's strong suit. So what drives your content: the spoken word or the visual story? For comprehensive video editing with text-based features, explore tools that offer MP4 to text conversion alongside full AI video editing capabilities.
