Edit Video Like You Edit a Google Doc
Descript transcribes your video, then lets you cut, rearrange, and polish by editing the text. Delete a sentence from the transcript — it disappears from the video.
You recorded a 45-minute podcast. The good parts are scattered across the timeline. Finding them means scrubbing through footage, marking timestamps, and stitching together cuts in a timeline editor.
Descript flips the workflow. It auto-transcribes your video, then you edit the text — cut words, move paragraphs, delete filler — and the video updates automatically. If you can edit a Google Doc, you can edit a video.
Amazon, Apple, Spotify, and Salesforce use it. The free tier is permanent — not a trial.
The Problem
- ✗Video editing takes hours of timeline scrubbing even for simple cuts.
- ✗Removing filler words ("um," "uh," "like") requires manual identification and cutting — tedious frame-by-frame work.
- ✗You need separate tools for recording, transcription, captions, and editing.
- ✗Repurposing long-form video into short clips requires watching the entire recording to find highlights.
Free tier is permanent — 1 hour of media per month, 100 AI credits. Not a trial. Use it forever.

Common Concerns (Answered)
“I already know Premiere/Final Cut.” Great for complex productions. But for podcast editing, client testimonials, social clips, and internal videos — Descript is 10x faster. Most teams use both.
“How accurate is the transcription?” Industry-leading accuracy. And since you're editing the transcript anyway, you fix any errors as part of your natural editing workflow.
