These companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Start a new Descript project. Then, record a video or upload one you've already made. Descript creates a transcript you can reference while you build your description, chapters, and key moments.
02
Open Underlord, choose YouTube description, and add guiding details like keywords, audience, tone, and links you want included. You'll get a description draft with a summary, CTAs, hashtags, and timestamped chapters you can edit.
03
Copy the description and paste it into YouTube when you upload. If you're publishing from Descript, you can send the video to YouTube and add your final title and description before it goes live, so your workflow stays in one place.
Get descriptions that reflect what's actually in your video. Share your topic, audience, and 1-3 target keywords, and Descript drafts SEO-friendly copy you can refine. Plus, space for links, CTAs, and a quick "what you'll learn" summary for viewers.
Turn key moments into scannable chapters with timestamps, so viewers can jump to what they care about. Descript can also suggest titles and chapter labels based on your transcript, which is helpful for tutorials, interviews, and long-form content.
Write the description where you edit the video. Script, record, transcribe, tighten the cut, generate the YouTube description, then publish. All in one workflow. Add captions when needed, and repurpose highlights into clips afterward.
