Descript is an AI video and audio editor that lets you edit by editing text. You record or upload, Descript's AI transcribes it, then you cut, trim, and rearrange the video by changing the transcript.

How does editing by text work?

You edit video the way you edit a doc. Descript's AI transcribes your recording, so deleting a word deletes that moment of video and moving a sentence moves the footage with it.

There's a free plan, no credit card required. Record, edit, and publish for free, and upgrade only when you outgrow the limits.

Is Descript good for beginners?

You edit by deleting words in a transcript, so most people make their first cuts within minutes. The timeline is there for fine control when you want it, but you can make a whole video without touching it.

What files can I bring into Descript?

Drag in video, audio, or a recording from a Zoom call; Descript's AI transcribes it so you can start editing right away. There is nothing to convert or migrate first.

Will the AI edits look obviously AI?

They shouldn’t. The goal is footage that looks like you shot it in the room, not something that looks processed. you control how far the AI goes, or turn it off.

Is it secure enough for my team or company?

SOC 2 Type II, SAML SSO and SCIM, and GDPR compliance, plus admin controls for users, permissions, and separate drives. Security reviews welcome — book a demo and we'll walk through it.
