Embed any video you create or upload in Descript with a feature-filled player that adds a searchable transcript, time-stamped comments, and easy permissions. Update your video once, publish, and have your changes appear everywhere—it’s that simple.
Get started
These companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Open a fresh Descript project, then drag and drop the video you want to embed—or craft a new clip from scratch. After the file imports, Descript instantly begins transcribing it.
02
In Descript, you can modify the transcript to trim or rearrange segments as if you’re editing text. Tap the 'C' key to switch into Correct mode if you spot typos to fix without affecting the video. This is especially useful before you share your final embed videos.
03
When everything looks good, publish your video to generate a shareable URL or HTML embed code. Paste it into webpages, Notion docs, tweets, presentation slides, and more. If you need to revise later, just publish again and your embed videos update automatically.
Each time you publish a video in Descript, you get a web link and an embed code. Drop the embed code into your site or blog post to show the Descript video player. Or share the link on apps like Slack, Notion, or Twitter to preview the video right in the conversation.
Descript’s custom embed video player offers a scrolling transcript, commenting tools, and quick search. This approach keeps viewers engaged and makes it simpler to find specific spots in your video.
All your embed videos stay connected to your Descript project. If you want to tweak your content, make your edits in one place and publish again. Your changes roll out to every location where your video embed is used.
Descript is an AI-powered audio and video editing tool that lets you edit podcasts and videos like a doc.
Create, edit, and embed your clips with a straightforward editor—edit your footage like you’re editing text.
