Descript

Video

Descript is an AI video and audio editor where you edit by editing the transcript. It records, transcribes, edits and publishes in one tool, with AI features for filler-word removal and clean audio.

How to use Descript

Record or import media and Descript transcribes it. Delete or rearrange words in the transcript to cut the video, then use AI tools to remove filler words and improve sound before exporting.

Best for

Podcasts and talking-head videos. Fast rough cuts by deleting text. Cleaning up audio without an engineer.

How it behaves

Text-first editing makes it fastest for speech-heavy content; motion-heavy edits still need a timeline.

Tips

Fix transcript errors before editing so cuts land in the right place. Run filler-word removal once at the end. Use studio sound on remote recordings.

Pricing

Free plan available, with paid plans for more transcription hours and AI features. See Descript's pricing page for current rates.
