  • AI video editing tip: Think bigger, not just faster, with Underlord. Use Underlord to make new stuff, not just as an efficiency multiplier. Think beyond your current workflow: if you had an assistant with unlimited bandwidth, good taste, and deep expertise, what would you ask it to do? Then ask Underlord to do it. Our early power users leaned on Underlord to make trailers, video podcasts, courses, social media clips, translations—stuff that was either beyond their skillsets or just too time-consuming before. Push your, and Underlord’s, creative boundaries.

    Descript is by far the best video production platform. 1. It's easy to edit a document (script) that cuts your video. 2. The AI tools are excellent and do 80% of my editing work. 3. I maximize the use of my templates to recreate styles. There are maybe 100 other reasons. But trust me, your best bang for your buck is Descript.

    Video editing used to take me hours. Now it takes minutes.🤯 No, seriously! Until recently, I was stuck with the usual nightmare: timeline juggling, audio syncing, endless rendering. Then I found Descript. You can now edit videos like you're editing a Word document. Delete text = video gets cut. Remove "ums" = one click. Fix audio quality = automatic. No technical skills needed. I just created a professional video in 5 minutes that would have taken me 3 hours before. Perfect for marketers who need video content but hate the editing process.

  • Finding b-roll is a pain. First you search. Then you scroll. Then you stare. Then you shrug and pick one. How are there thousands of clips of business casual coworkers pretending to collaborate—and how come you and your coworkers aren’t that good looking? Anyway. All that effort, just to fill like eight seconds of your video? To hell with that. Let Underlord do it. Underlord is our new AI co-editor. It doesn’t just edit video—it thinks like an editor. Knows what to add. Knows where to put it. Knows how to make it look good. So instead of spelunking through stock libraries and hoping for the best, just say what you want: “Add some b-roll of… “…someone frustrated at a desk” “…a city skyline at twilight” “…some coworkers collaborating on a factory floor” Done. Underlord finds the clip, trims it, and places it—like a magician, but with better taste. It’s not just about speeding up the tedious parts. It’s about not having to think about them at all. No more hunting for the perfect shot. No more hunt/click/slip/clip. No more settling for close-enough. You focus on the story. Underlord handles the b-roll.

  • Descript Season X The new Underlord is on the loose. Join our team live on August 5th for Descript Season X and see it in action. Underlord is the first and only AI co-editor that knows what makes a good video and how to make it—because it’s built into a fully powered video editor. You’ll see it when you open Descript, and it's still in beta. You can: - Ask Underlord to write a script or give feedback on one you wrote - Get it to edit your video—clean it up, make it more engaging, tailor it to your audience - Tell it to make you a video from scratch with generated images - Give it a slide deck; it’ll turn it into a video, script included Join our VP of Product Laura and the rest of the gang for a live demo of Underlord at Descript Season X. Plus, we’ll answer any questions you’ve got. See you there!

  • New in Descript Rooms: Control Room Control Room is a long-requested, powerful new feature that introduces two new roles—Producer and Co-Host—and allows them to manage live recording sessions without appearing on screen or in the final recording. Control Room participants can watch the session unfold, adjust technical settings, and communicate directly with those in the Recording Room. If you liked SquadCast’s Backstage feature, you’ll love Control Room. Available now for Business and Enterprise users.
