Descript Tutorial: Master AI Video Editing in 15 Minutes! (2024)

This comprehensive Descript tutorial will teach you how to use Descript in less than 15 minutes. And you’ll learn EXACTLY how to leverage new AI video editing features to save you a ton of time making content.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this fluff-free guide:
First, you’ll get familiar with the Descript video editor, including how to edit the script like a document to get rid of pauses and retakes. That’s with your keyboard, not with a timeline.

Then, you’ll see how to use AI Voice Cloning to update your script without re-recording with Descript’s Overdub feature. This saves a ton of time especially when you’ve just messed up one or two words.

Next, you’ll use the Studio Sound feature not just to remove background noise and echoes, but to sound much richer, regardless of the room you record in.

You’ll then explore layers and how to put speakers on new backgrounds using Descript’s Green Screen feature.

Then, you’ll learn to automatically add Captions to your content without having to type them yourself. AND you’ll learn how to style them to fit your needs.

Next, you’ll reach new audiences by automatically translating your Captions AND your voice into different languages.

You’ll also learn how to use Descript’s Eye Contact feature to make sure your speakers always look at the camera.

Finally, this Descript tutorial ends with showing you how to automatically create short-form Clips to advertise your long-form content.

We’ll use two real-world examples to inspire you on how to use these AI tools in your own workflow.

Hi Kevin 1 question, hope you can answer. I only need a video showing the text and tracking (highlighting) the text (like transcipting it) while text to speech reads synchronously. nothing else, its like a visual auto read noval. (like kindle whispersync a.k.a. read along, read aloud) .. so video should should whole text which fits to screen (like 1 page) but should continiously highlight the read part. Can descript do this ?

[TheFemalestorm]

Hi Kevin. Great video. Where can I hire someone to do this for me?

[shahidkupe]
