About Descript

Descript is a web-based editor for video and audio. Its main method is text-based editing: after a recording or imported file is transcribed, changes to the transcript text are applied to the video, and a timeline is also available. The homepage describes recording, transcription, captions, thumbnails and YouTube descriptions, clip creation, translation, and reformatting for platforms such as YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn.

The homepage also describes AI features. Underlord is described as an AI video editor that can turn a raw recording into a tight cut. Generated B-roll (video, voice audio, music and images) is offered with a choice of models. The homepage does not state which features are included in each plan. Enterprise claims are listed as SOC 2 Type II certification, SAML SSO and SCIM, and GDPR compliance. These are vendor statements on the homepage and are not independently verified here. The homepage does not say which features require uploads or external services.
