Clip It in Descript
A Next-Step Guide to AI Editing, Social Clips, and Translation, from One Recording to Every Platform
$12.99
Already editing in Descript by cutting a transcript? This next-step guide moves from that skill to Descript's AI tools, so one long recording becomes every piece a modern creator needs: short vertical clips, translated captions, a dubbed voiceover, and a consistent branded look across all of them.
You start by turning on Underlord, Descript's AI co-editor, and learn to prompt it for real edits while keeping every change reversible. You work through the AI Tools panel by name - Studio Sound, Remove Filler Words, Remove Retakes, Eye Contact, Green Screen and more - so you know exactly which tool fixes which problem. Then you let Descript find and cut clips from a long recording automatically, set them to vertical, and style their captions to match.
From there you build one layout pack so every clip shares a look, translate captions into a second language, add a dubbed voiceover with lip sync where it fits, and even fix a misspoken line in your own voice using Descript's consent-based voice cloning. A final chapter covers exporting every version correctly, without doubled captions, and turns the whole process into a routine you can run on your next recording.
Every step uses Descript's current names for its tools, menus and plans, with the platform and language limits stated honestly throughout.
