How does text-based video editing work?
Descript transcribes your video automatically. You can then edit the video by editing the transcript text. Delete a sentence from the transcript, and the corresponding video segment is removed. It also supports traditional timeline editing.
Can Descript remove filler words automatically?
Yes. The Underlord AI can detect and remove 'um,' 'uh,' 'like,' and other filler words with one click. It also removes awkward silences and pauses.
Does Descript support screen recording?
Yes. Descript includes built-in screen recording with webcam overlay. The AI can then help you edit the recording by removing mistakes, adding captions, and polishing the final output.
