CEO at Descript (we're hiring)

Biggest Descript release in a few years today! Check it out / give us an upvote :-) https://lnkd.in/gFgkBNXA Highlights: * We’ve redesigned the app to make space for an AI assistant, Underlord, that can do much of your editing for you * Underlord can also find and create clips for promoting your content * Translation (text, and audio/speech translation coming soon) * A UX/visual overhaul with tons of quality of life improvements to make the design more accessible * Descript now fully runs in a web browser (better performance than desktop) with recording and everything * New pricing (a new higher level plan for businesses, we’re monetizing AI features now, and we raised prices on monthly plans)

Wonderful intro😂 I've been a dedicated user of Descript since 2020, and I can confidently say that it has revolutionized my approach to video editing. Reflecting on my four-year journey with Descript feels like reminiscing about a different era. Their relentless commitment to innovation and feature enhancement is genuinely impressive. As an early adopter of AI, I eagerly began integrating ChatGPT into my workflow in December 2022. I immediately envisioned a synergy between Descript and ChatGPT;-) The latest update, which makes creating clips a joy, has turned what was once a chore into a source of inspiration and fun. Their recent updates have taken both the interface and AI integration to unprecedented heights. Yesterday, I canceled other tools like InVideo and Opus. I’ve loved Descript from day one, and now, it's become an integral part of my daily routine, reigniting my passion for video creation. Descript doesn’t just simplify video editing—it empowers and transforms careers, contributing to a better, more creative world.

Dude I can’t wait to play with this. Loyal yearly guy and longtime editor. The whole concept is just so novel to me I use it as my direct address shooting studio first. I would, however, love it if I could record the screen, speak and have those two video tracks (my video of me and the screen) automatically default to two separate video tracks so I could make a great dynamic edit exported to another NLE

Thank you for poking fun at Apple, Google and everyone with their glib and self important “Important” announcements. Oh, and also thanks for keeping script. Awesome.

I recommended Descript in my guide for educators. I have been desperately trying to find a person to talk to at your company about K-12 marketing. Please have someone contact me. https://constructingmodernknowledge.com/free-whitepaper-game-changing-ai-tools-education/

Andrew Mason not trying to throw shade but last year descripts desktop worked smoothly and then you updated it and it was so bad I had to move to Riverside. To be clear my PC has the specs to run your software. Have you fixed all the bugs in descripts core desktop app?

Andrew! One bug to swat: did you know that there is no way to restart the initial tutorial module once you’ve completed it? I wanted a new hire to train on it and your CS team confirmed it can’t be reset. (?) Separately I was telling my coworker yesterday that Descript has your fingerprints all over it, marketing included :) it is great to see you be you.
