Edit video like a document — cut words to cut footage
Descript reinvented video and podcast editing with a deceptively simple idea: since every spoken video has a transcript, why not let you edit by editing the text? Delete a sentence in the transcript and that footage disappears. Add new words and Overdub — Descript's voice clone — speaks them in your voice. The result is a completely non-linear editing workflow that cuts post-production time by 70% for podcasters, YouTubers, course creators, and marketing teams.
Podcasters, YouTubers, course creators, marketing video teams, remote teams editing collaboratively
Professional film editors, complex multi-camera productions, heavy color grading workflows
Auto-transcribes your video, then lets you edit footage by editing the transcript — highlight and delete text to remove those moments from the video.
Record your voice once to create a voice clone. Then type new words and Overdub speaks them in your voice — perfect for fixing mistakes without re-shooting.
One click to remove every 'um', 'uh', 'like', and 'you know' from your entire recording — instantly cleaner content.
AI noise reduction that removes background noise, echo, and poor mic quality from any recording in one click.
Built-in screen recorder with webcam overlay — record, transcribe, and edit tutorials and demos without switching apps.
Descript is the best video editor for content creators who aren't professional editors — podcasters, course creators, YouTubers, and marketers will save 5-10 hours per week. The text-based editing and Overdub voice cloning are genuinely magic. Professional video editors doing narrative films or complex multi-camera shoots should stick with Premiere Pro.
Descript is arguably the best podcast editor available. Text-based editing makes episode cuts trivial, filler word removal works one-click, Studio Sound fixes bad audio, and you can publish directly to podcast platforms. Most podcasters report cutting editing time from 3 hours to under 45 minutes.
Yes — after recording about 10 minutes of training audio, Overdub captures your voice's characteristics with impressive accuracy. It's best for inserting short corrections (1-3 sentences). For longer Overdub passages, careful listeners may notice slight differences from your natural cadence.
CapCut for short-form social content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) — it has better templates, effects, and auto-captions for mobile-first content. Descript for longform content (podcasts, YouTube, courses, marketing videos) where the text-based editing and Overdub save massive time.
