Descript graduates from being a podcast editor to a fully featured audio and video editor, complete with a powerful screen and webcam recorder. Now producing multitrack videos with titles, transitions, and animation is as easy as editing a doc.

Hi Product Hunt! Before today, Descript was a very cool/magical/powerful/fun podcast creation tool that let you edit audio by editing text. As of today, we're a product for everyone that communicates with video (i.e. everyone). We are releasing: * Full video editing (multitrack video/images, titles, transitions, keyframe animation, burned-in subtitles, etc.) * A screen recorder and webcam that transcribes and uploads as you record. * Unlimited free screen recording seats for paid plans Producthunters, if you work at a startup, this version of Descript has everything you need to be your company's Google Docs for video/audio. As a startup founder, it's the video tool I've always wanted - something I can use for quickly recording and sharing my screen... but also something that gives me the editing power of Screenflow of Camtasia, so I could use it to make our help/product/marketing videos. I've been using screen recording apps for years because it's often faster than writing an email - and while it's made communication easier on me, it's shifted the burden to the recipient, who has to suffer through my rambling screen recordings because I couldn't be bothered to organize my thoughts and write something down. With Descript's screen recorder, you get the benefits of video without the drawbacks, because you can edit your screen recordings with the speed and simplicity of editing a doc. Another thing - all paid Descript plans include unlimited screen recording seats. You only pay to edit (and screen recording users can even edit up to three projects). So invite your whole team! Download Descript for free and tell us what you think!

Descript is amazing, we use it for the Naval podcast (one of our no-longer-secret weapons). Look forward to trying the video tools. I liked Descript enough that I tracked down Andrew and invested (a sliver).

Wow. Descript has matured a ton since it started as a podcast audio editor.
Simon Chiu
I love, love Descript. One of the most useful apps especially if you're publishing any video or podcast type of media.

Great video, make me laugh and wow, the "text to audio" feature is super cool! 💡 Could you write a full script and it then be translated to audio, or is it simply for filling in gaps/mistakes?
Andrew Mason
@bentheredonethat yes you can do that!
Valentin Haarscher
Great video @andrewmason ! Have you produced it internally ? If not could you share the name of the agency that produced it ?
Nick Noble

Descript is a time-saver, it's amazing, how smart it is with its transcribing, and all the functionality it comes with and they keep adding. Filler words clean up, visual editing by moving words around. Clipping text to create new segments. It's amazing.

Great tool! It's becoming easier to become more competitive as a startup to generate content with higher product value.
Victor Vatus
already a user, it's awesome!! would love to be able to integrate the subtitles in the video directly from the platform though :)

Descript is magic. It's unlike anything I've ever used. With the addition of video editing, I expect Descript to become a primary tool for creators.

Is this like Figma but for video? If so, this is the moment I've been waiting for my whole life.
