Edit Videos by Editing TEXT! (Descript Tutorial for Video Editing)

[@unmiss-com]

Editing is a must-have because you have a few seconds to convince users to consume the whole content. Experts are far away from knowing how to retain but editors have this experience.

[@xBLUMONKEY]

Editing a basic video makes it 2x better honestly, unedited videos will always feel unprofessional

[@xBLUMONKEY]

Also I agree with what you said lol

[@sy2yd]

Amazing. Timing is everything indeed. I saw this program several years ago and was too lazy to move forward. Glad I waited and most importantly thanks for your teaching method ... makes things a lot easier. On vacation through Nov 26th, but end of 2021 is going to be huge for me on You Tube.

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome - glad you liked it! 😊

[@jpal1080]

Our company purchased thanks to your tutorial and wow…cannot believe how fast to cut out filler words and word gaps! Still getting familiar with other editing features but disappointed that Descript doesn’t have very good tutorials so any additional tricks & tips will be appreciated! Thanks for sharing this video.👍

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome - have a great day.

[@revbharvey5046]

Another winner Justin. I've been using Descript for a few months now, but mainly for adding captions. It is brilliant for this, but not as simple as it once was. The AI work is amazing, but even though I do about five videos a week for our church channel and use this for most of them, the AI still can't get "G'day" right. 😁 The "Detect Transcription Errors" option is also a winner.

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks - glad you're enjoying it. 😁

[@nickld6015]

Wow.. This is a game-changer and this is going to speed up my editing *alot*. Thank you for the tutorial 😏

Even though making money is a great thing to have, starting a KZbin channel should be about finding your *passion* and turning it into videos. That way, you'll be much more inclined to be consistent since you genuinely enjoy what you do! 👌🏻

Hey Justin, for the overdub AI feature, what does the video show when you add an overdub? I would assume maybe it freezes and you would have to reconcile that visually somehow. Just wanted to ask!

[@PrimalVideo]

Hey! Yes, you would need to add b-roll over those sections but great if you need a quick and easy change in dialogue 👍

[@mariesa_j]

This is a really amazing app... Thanks a lot Justin

[@PrimalVideo]

Great video, Justin! I have Descript and love it - except for one thing, the output video bitrate. My uploaded video is at 28 mbps, but when I export it from Descript at the High setting, it's reduced to between only 1 and 2 mbps. Do you know of any solution?

[@NoraRiz]

Thank you Justin. This is amazing. Regarding exporting: A year or two ago (ha) you said one of the best video editing programs for beginners is Shotcut. Which one do you recommend now that's beginning-user-friendly? Im finally ready to create again. Thank you!

[@adrianrorvik7488]

@@PrimalVideo I did check out your editing picks for 2022- and Descript didn't make the (Shot)cut. Is that because it's perhaps TOO basic as a video editing tool? Thanks for all the wonderful info you provide so well.

Incredible technology; great video as always! I usually record using vmix and multicorder, meaning I have 3, 4 or 5 layers of video. Is it possible to have multilayers of video in Descript?

You can have multiple layers in descript too

[@PrimalVideo]

they help you with all of that in the app

[@ServantStatusMinistries]

Do you think you can add your own gif or images on top of a video in Descript like an overlay or is it limited to just adding images and titles with text? Also is editing done in the cloud to where I don’t have to have a fast computer or is it just all done on my desktop with the app?

How does uploading to Descript and then exporting to Final Cut affect video quality? I like to use higher quality 4k as I can, so I don’t want to lose anything in the export process.

[@vamshikrishna298]

Nice review 👍

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks!

[@EyGennX]

That is AMAZING! Does it work for languages other than English?

[@SwahiliWithMaida]

I was wondering if it could work with my language as well

[@martincocimano5151]

Hi Justin! Great video. Do you know a workaround to have 2 subtitles displayed at the same time? I give Spanish classes and need to have the native Spanish subtitle but also the English one. Any idea how to do this? What I've done is export the SRT Spanish transcribed, translated with an external website into English and trying to import that SRT English subtitle and see if I can display it somehow at the same than the Spanish transcription caption. Let me know if you have any other idea. Thanks!

[@PrimalVideo]

If you save the video out with one lot of subtitles added, could you bring that video back in and add the other?

[@davidwalker2144]

[@ronaldtremmel.mylifeafterc5686]

Thanks, Justin, for another great video. Losing my lower jaw to cancer, my speech is not the best as I am hard to understand. So, for youtube videos, am I able to type the words that I want to say in a video, and Descript will speak the comments I have typed? Can it be used that way

[@PrimalVideo]

Sorry to hear that Ronald - yes Descript can be used to read out your text too. There are voices included or you can add your own voice

[@MMABeijing]

Hi, thank you for this great video, I actually did not know that tech existed and that 's exactly what I had in mind. Question: how are you implementing the lower third with all the sections and the green progression bar? thank you so much

[@PrimalVideo]

Glad you liked the video! We have a video on how to make progress bars on our channel but we custom make this on Final Cut Pro. It's made with shapes and basic titles, then we add the movement with keyframes 👍

[@MMABeijing]

@@PrimalVideo Gotcha, thank you for the feedback

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Wow! The AI overdub is amazing played back in your own voice after it learns your voice from an upload. Cool feature. I can see a lot of advantages of this software, especially if someone is talking unscripted. The software can then generate your voice into script, which you can then edit and take out sections. Then you can also upload timeline to Premiere or Final Cut with all the cut edits or else just finish the video in this software solely. A great time saver. Software I am definitely going to consider. Thanks for the demo! That company has a great product. Wondering if I can buy stock in it?! I wish they also created a export timeline to Vegas Pro version. If not maybe I need to get Premiere for windows.

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks - glad you liked that! 😁

[@kessiedrupps]

I tried it now and there isn't any download mac book or whatever. So it can only allow me to add audios

[@1markv]

Hey Justin, how was the video quality when you upload it to Descript then export it? does it lose any quality?

[@PrimalVideo]

There's always some loss in quality but depending on how you export it it doesn't have to be much

Hey Justin, great content. I have an Audio Podcast and have been using Hindenburg to do the audio editing (what a pain). I do record the Video but up to now have not used any of this. I publish on Buzzsprout. Would you suggest doing the first rough cut of the Video here and then exporting it to Hindenburg or exporting the audio from Descript straight to Buzzsprout? Love your stuff from one Aussi to another :-)

Hey Stephen, You might find descript does all you need in this situation. The audio tools in there are really good

[@stephensandor6503]

Fra hjemmesiden til Descript: Dan Reyes-Cairo April 22, 2020 21:15 Currently, Descript only transcribes in English. We are aware of the desire for Descript to support Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, and other languages, and we are excited to offer it one day. Unfortunately, multi language support is not scheduled for the near future

Just tried it. Great idea. Great for moving around takes you already know are good takes, and editing out the silence etc. However, they have more work to do. Got bugs. During playback jumps around and at different speeds. Unreliable. Not good for editing mid sentence or restoring previously deleted clips or words. The Transcript is okay about 80% of the time so plan on spending a lot of time editing the transcript especially if you are using captions which everyone should be using. Not great yet. Maybe this summer.
