Descript turns a traditional video editing interface into a Microsoft Word/Google Docs document that you can edit and share.
You cancel a word on the page and, puff, a whole section of the video is gone. It’s that easy to do a mess.
This approach massively decreases the learning curve and the friction in video editing. The trade-off is that Descript is significantly less powerful than traditional, very intimidating tools like Adobe Premiere Pro or Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve when it comes to complicated editing.
Descript is one of the startups that received an infusion of capital from OpenAI via the OpenAI Startup Fund. As such, the company has access to the latest and greatest OpenAI models before anybody else.
