Descript Review (2026)

AI-powered video and audio editor that works like a doc

Descript is a radical rethinking of video and audio editing. Instead of traditional timeline editing, Descript transcribes your media and lets you edit it by editing the text — delete words to cut video, copy-paste to rearrange. Its AI features include Underlord (an AI video co-editor), Studio Sound for instant audio cleanup, AI voice cloning for fixing mistakes without re-recording, automatic filler word removal, AI-powered green screen, and AI video generation. Plans start with a functional free tier, Hobbyist at $16/mo, Creator at $24/mo (most popular), Business at $50/mo, and Enterprise custom pricing.
