Wow. Descript has matured a ton since it started as a podcast audio editor.

Descript is magic. It's unlike anything I've ever used. With the addition of video editing, I expect Descript to become a primary tool for creators.

While your product is over the top cool, your video is so far my favourite product intro video ever! congrats @andrewmason

So is this a competitor to Loom?

Hi Product Hunt! Before today, Descript was a very cool/magical/powerful/fun podcast creation tool that let you edit audio by editing text. As of today, we're a product for everyone that communicates with video (i.e. everyone). We are releasing: * Full video editing (multitrack video/images, titles, transitions, keyframe animation, burned-in subtitles, etc.) * A screen recorder and webcam that transcribes and uploads as you record. * Unlimited free screen recording seats for paid plans Producthunters, if you work at a startup, this version of Descript has everything you need to be your company's Google Docs for video/audio. As a startup founder, it's the video tool I've always wanted - something I can use for quickly recording and sharing my screen... but also something that gives me the editing power of Screenflow of Camtasia, so I could use it to make our help/product/marketing videos. I've been using screen recording apps for years because it's often faster than writing an email - and while it's made communication easier on me, it's shifted the burden to the recipient, who has to suffer through my rambling screen recordings because I couldn't be bothered to organize my thoughts and write something down. With Descript's screen recorder, you get the benefits of video without the drawbacks, because you can edit your screen recordings with the speed and simplicity of editing a doc. Another thing - all paid Descript plans include unlimited screen recording seats. You only pay to edit (and screen recording users can even edit up to three projects). So invite your whole team! Download Descript for free and tell us what you think!

this thing is unbelievably cool!! text-to-audio is 🤯. also major congrats to @andrewmason on a second hit product!

Anyone have a promo code 😉 ?

Descript is amazing, we use it for the Naval podcast (one of our no-longer-secret weapons). Look forward to trying the video tools. I liked Descript enough that I tracked down Andrew and invested (a sliver).

I love, love Descript. One of the most useful apps especially if you're publishing any video or podcast type of media.

Huge fan of Descript. One of those products that truly feels magic. Our team at @coda_hq loves it!

Descript is a time-saver, it's amazing, how smart it is with its transcribing, and all the functionality it comes with and they keep adding. Filler words clean up, visual editing by moving words around. Clipping text to create new segments. It's amazing.

Big fan of Descript! We've been using it for 6 months and love it!

Love, love, love, this application.

This video was amazing

Great tool! It's becoming easier to become more competitive as a startup to generate content with higher product value.

@andrewmason this is incredible, it's like a musical notation editor where you focus on the composition itself, as opposed to video editing timelines.

Such a great introductory video. Really really good

The promo looks awesome! I wonder when it will support language like Chinese.

Is this like Figma but for video? If so, this is the moment I've been waiting for my whole life.

Just awesome 👌
