Overview

Descript's core idea is editing video and audio by editing a transcript: cut a sentence from the text and the matching clip cuts too. On top of that base it layers AI tools for filler-word removal, Studio Sound audio cleanup, eye contact correction, and its Overdub/Underlord AI co-editor. The free plan gives 60 minutes of media per month and 100 one-time AI credits at 720p export; paid plans start at Hobbyist ($16/month billed annually, $24/month billed monthly) and scale up through Creator and Business, each raising the monthly media-minute and AI-credit pool. Test a longer project before committing because transcript-based editing has a learning curve and heavier projects may need more capable hardware or patience.
