Edit videos like a doc–just by typing
Descript is unlike any video editing software you’ve ever used. Instead of editing in a timeline, you get an auto-generated transcript, and then...just edit that to edit your video. It’s that easy.
Meet Underlord, your AI video editing assistant
Underlord’s powerful AI tools tackle tedious tasks at every stage of your workflow. Change or remove your video background in a click with AI green screen. Remove retakes in an instant. Keep your eyes on the camera, even if you were looking somewhere else. Get help writing social posts or even a script. Underlord does all that and more.
Use AI to turn a single video into a whole bunch of social clips
Underlord finds moments in your videos most likely to go viral on social media, then generates clips in any aspect ratio, size, and format. Then you add the pizazz: add branded templates, animated subtitles, images, GIFs, or music to make clips that are uniquely yours.
Collaborative video editing, without the chaos
Invite your team to create alongside you, in real-time, with commenting, version history, a shared media library, and branded templates. It’s all in the cloud, so there’s no downloading or clumsy file sharing.
Grab-and-go templates for quick, creative, consistent video
Grab a pre-made template — complete with animated captions, titles, and elegant backgrounds — to make your videos pop on any social platform. Or create custom templates so they’ll know in a glance — that’s your brand.
