Learn Descript in 15 Minutes [Full Tutorial]

Fantastic!

How can I Zoom in on a certain clip I that involves only one file? (Sitdown video with two people -- I want to Zoom in on their reactions)

Thank you!!

Awesome beginner tutorial to get us up and running. Thanks Joey!

GREAT video! Just got Descript and this really helps me with the basics. I'll be watching more from you for sure. Thank you!

I can't even figure out where to find my transcription to open and edit

Thank you. 15 min.. You saved me hours.

finally a good tutorial

How do I remove the silence before I start speaking? I have been attempting to accomplish this all day with no luck.😒

what if you want to start with creating a new video starting with audio and add images?

Excited to give this a try with my future videos. Thanks for the clear and concise tutorial!

OMG what a terrible user experience i hate this app😫😓😭

Its not showing that box on the top left to change to vertical, i have wasted my entire morning looking to change a simple video to vertical, There is no drop down on the top left its just a feather icon whiich doesnt have aspect ratio setting!, i searched everywhere for aspect ration, i even went to help, Im so sick of this im removing this thing i wasted my time and im going to miss deadline!😡😤 EDIT: It was INVISIBLE!! It was literally on the same pane as the video not the top left, when you clicked. You literally need to hover the cursor on a tiny area above the top left of the video for the menu to appear

Hey Joey, how do I add more tracks in the timeline? I want to add a teaser video and bumpers to the recording and have them overlap slightly. In using Davinci I could do that but this is a bit more challenging. May be it's worth a video tutorial? Thanks

This was so helpful. Thanks for sharing!😊

Awesome video. Just what I wanted.

Great video, thank you! Quick tip on that mic: pull the foam out just a little bit to avoid those p-pops. 😃

My only issue with Descript is I have to smooth out the cuts

I hate this program with all my heart because whenever i try to press start something it works and something not until you cant even play it...I HATE IT

You made descript looks so simple to use. I downloaded it, but I was so overwhelmed by all the stuff they were trying to jam down my brain all at once.

Thanks for that video.

How to undo in descript, either transcription or any edit...

ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH, where can I put subtitles of transcribed text ??

Thank you; great job! I am not sure how to shorten an imported video b/c the cursor was going so fast at times. Like the one your used from descript fit your scene time exactly, or does it automatically cut it?

Great vid! How’d you do the greenscreen effect?

Great vid! How’d you do the greenscreen effect?

Thank you, man!

Does caption generator work in arabic??

Loved how simple and easy you made this tutorial

how do you ADD new words in your script in your voice??????

Most awesome! Thanks!

Thank you Joey. Very useful.

How can u choose the language of the audio for writing the script

is it free?? and is Arabic language available, or do i need to manually add the transcription myself??

When will there be a video which explains how to turn text into a AI voice text using Descript? Is there a tutorial out there? I would be very happy to see something like that on your channel!

I need to edit a long video, about 30 minutes. I have a great computer but experienced laggy editors before for this large video, do you think descript can handle that?

Hi Joey I have a quick question if exampl I'm editing an icon and I'm trying to copy the icon settings across different ones , like copying the size ,the the effect and paste it on another icon ( attributes) can I do it on the descript

Hi Joey can you please give me a advice how to turn of subs because when I export and download the video from descript it has my captions from descript and plus it has got subs (I have mac so Im talking about the "automatic subs from mac...)
Have a nice day!

Good Work!
Thank You.

Thx that helped alot

Thanks this was very helpful - i was having a lot of trouble transitioning from classing to current version. i was ready to give up on descript after being one of its biggest fans. you won me back over lol

Thank you so much this gives me more time to save!

Excellent and Succinct.. I will download and try it.. cheers

I downloaded descript months ago and found their instructions confusing. Thanks for your tutorial I'm going to give it another try. 😊

Life saver! Thank you.

Descript in theory sounds amazing, but in practice it's absolutely terrible. It works great if you edit the EXACT way they want you to edit, otherwise it becomes a nightmare to use and navigate. The interface and timeline is extremely clunky, takes ages to do simply move things around and it's extremeny buggy - I had to re-edit 2 of my 30 min videos because they got messed up by descript.

The only plus is the script editor and the dubbing feature but I'm 100% sure there will be more tools out there that will do a much better job soon.

Also they changed the entire UX overnight so users like me who purchased an annual plan before that got stuck with a headache inducing nonsensical editing experience, very different from what it was before.
