Descript is an AI video and audio editor that lets you edit by editing a transcript, record, transcribe, and publish in one tool.

Descript is an AI video and audio editor built around a simple idea: edit the text, and the footage follows. Upload a file or record directly, and Descript transcribes it in seconds. Deleting a word removes that moment of video; moving a sentence moves the footage with it. A timeline is available for fine control, but you can finish a whole video without touching it.
An AI video editor called Underlord can turn a raw recording into a tight cut, and Studio Sound reduces background noise and enhances voices. Descript also supports remote recording, screen recording, captions, clip creation, and generated B-roll, voice, music, and images. There is a free plan with no credit card required, and paid upgrades for higher limits.

There is a free plan with no credit card required. You can record, edit, and publish for free, and upgrade when you outgrow the limits.
You can drag in video or audio files, or a recording from a Zoom call. Descript transcribes it so you can start editing right away, with nothing to convert or migrate first.
