Descript is an AI-powered video and podcast editor in which you edit media by editing its automatically generated transcript. Its Underlord AI co-editor handles tasks such as removing filler words, cleaning audio and creating captions.
You upload or record media, Descript transcribes it, and edits made to the text are applied to the audio and video. Underlord and AI tools run on monthly AI credits that vary by plan, and projects export to formats compatible with editors such as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere on higher tiers.
Podcasters, YouTubers, marketers and teams producing training or product video use it. Business and Enterprise plans add team members, Brand Studio and SSO or SCIM.
Free is $0 with 60 media minutes and 100 one-time AI credits. Hobbyist is $16 per month ($24 monthly-billed) with 10 media hours, Creator is $24 ($35) with 30 hours, and Business is $50 ($65) with 40 hours. Enterprise is custom.
Adobe Premiere Pro is a traditional timeline editor, Captions focuses on mobile talking-head video, and VEED is a browser-based editor with AI tools. Descript is built around transcript-based editing.
