What is Descript?
AI-editing for every kind of video
Descript is an AI-powered video and audio editor that makes editing as easy as typing.
Text-based editing: edit the auto-generated transcript like a document — delete words or move sentences and the video/audio changes in sync. Underlord, the AI co-editor, takes raw footage and a prompt and auto-produces a rough cut (removing filler words, picking the best takes, adding scenes), with every step reviewable and undoable.
Recording supports camera, screen, and remote multi-person capture (Rooms up to 4K multi-track cloud recording), or import existing media. Studio Sound removes background noise and echo while enhancing voice. Regenerate fixes mistakes or re-records lines with AI voice — no re-recording needed; Eye Contact correction and Green Screen background swap included. Transcription covers 25 languages with editable captions and speaker detection; translation dubbing covers 30+ languages while preserving the speaker's voice. Create Clips finds highlights from long videos/podcasts and reformats them for each social platform.
Descript is freemium: the Free plan ($0, no credit card) includes 1 media hour/month, 100 one-time AI credits, and 720p export with watermark. Paid plans: Hobbyist $16/month, Creator $24/month (most popular, 30 media hours, 800 AI credits, 4K watermark-free), Business $50/month (40 media hours, 1,500 AI credits, Brand Studio, 30+ language dubbing), and custom Enterprise (annual billing). See descript.com/pricing for current details.
