Monday Morning Cool Tool: Descript

This week’s tool cool recommendation is an AI video generator – Descript.

Descript is a text-based editing system, making it easier for those who are not familiar with video editing to create professional videos.

Top Features

Automated Transcription: Manually transcribing audio and video files can be a tedious and time-consuming process. Descript streamlines this by automatically transcribing your recordings in up to 23 languages. The real magic is that you can edit your audio or video simply by editing the transcribed text. Descript’s automatic transcription capabilities are a major time-saver, making it easy to repurpose your content or create subtitles.

Overdub Voice Cloning: Type in the corrected or missing text, and Descript will generate the new audio in your voice or even a cloned voice of a guest, making the process seamless and efficient.

Studio Sound Editing: Studio Sound elevates your audio quality, ensuring your content sounds professional and polished.

Video Green Screen and AI Eye Contact: Descript’s green screen background editor allows you to change the background of your videos, giving you more control over your presentation. The AI eye contact feature subtly adjusts your gaze to maintain eye contact with the camera, adding a touch of realism and engagement to your video.

While there are many great benefits to this tool, it’s worth noting that for novices, the text-based editing approach may take some getting used to, especially for those familiar with traditional timeline-based editors.
