Generate Short Clips From Any Video with AI | Descript (2024)

Short clips that pop

If you can drag-and-drop, copy-and-paste, click and type, you can make clips in Descript. It’s quick and easy.

We taught Descript's AI what works on social media, so it can find the moments with the highest engagement potential.

Descript’s fully-powered video editor gives you all the tools you need to make refined, original, eye-catching clilps.

Quickly change aspect ratios to fit different platforms. Grab one of Descript’s layouts or create one to fit your brand.

Whatever parts of the creative process you find most tedious, most difficult, most annoying —there’s an AI tool for that.

Removing filler words and other verbal clutter. So you get to a clean cut in moments, not hours.

Instantly hunt down and easily remove all the “ums,” “uhs,” “likes,” and “you knows” to make yourself sound smarter (even if you’re not).

Add captions —and accessibility, and views, and pizazz —in a couple clicks.

You don’t need an expensive mic and soundproofed recording space. Studio Sound will make it sound like you recorded in a studio. In a single click.

No teleprompter? No problem. Descript’s AI will make it look like your eyes were locked on the camera, even if you were reading off-screen.

Don’t bother with a real green screen, or even with tidying up. Just click on Green Screen, let it remove your background, then replace it with anything you want.

Just drag-and-drop you audio or video file; you’ll get a transcript in moments. Now you’ve stepped through the looking glass, into the magical land of editing in Descript.

Creating your video or podcast was hard enough. Now you have to agonize over writing social posts to promote it? Nah, just let Descript’s AI write them for you.

Another annoying but important task you can check off your list in an instant using AI. Even if it’s not perfect, it should get you most of the way there.

Instagram. TikTok. LinkedIn. YouTube Shorts. Twitter (or X if we must). Facebook. In other words, all of them.

Oh yeah. Just drag your video file in, get a transcript, and ask Descript’s AI to find your most social-worthy highlights. Then clip them, add your branding, and post those suckers. It’s literally that easy.

AI clips could just be clips you make with the help of AI tools like Descript’s. Nothing wrong with that — your creativity is still an absolute necessity. AI clips could also be fake or shoddy content made entirely using generative AI tools. Posting those might not make you a monster, but it’s pretty uncool if you ask us — mostly because the quality is still pretty terrible.

The videos are tough to watch. But the burgers are excellent.
