I just wanted to say a big thank you for your fantastic tutorial. As a beginner with the program, your video really helped me get started. Despite being short, you managed to explain the most important aspects clearly and understandably. It is so valuable to find good instructions, especially for a program like Descript. Your teaching ability and the way you presented the information were impressive. I have found the settings so that the program transcribes in Swedish, but unfortunately, it doesn't yet remove filler words in Swedish. Do you know if and when this feature might become available? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making it easier for us Swedish-speaking users to learn new tools. Best regards/ Anna in form of Digitala Zorro
Wow, thank you so much for your kind comment! It's comment like this that make it worth it for me :) Regarding filler words in other languages, sorry I don't know. I'd guess it's getting close since they just recently added the translate transcript functionality! Thank you for being here and let me know if you ever have more questions!
This partly worked for me with the new Season 6 update, but it would still delete a few layers when adding the additional templates. So I found a workaround: On the Timeline, as soon as possible after the first template layers have started, split the scene to a new scene. It's alright that the first template layers continue over in the new splitted scene. Then apply your additional template to the new scene. This allows you to fully keep the original template layers and add in the new ones. You might see the conflicting layers cutting each other short, but you should be able to resize them in duration on the timeline
Thank you for adding that! Yea templates are finicky and I find myself using workarounds like that all the time. Every situation and different types of settings will call for different approaches for using templates.
Thank you for this. Been using Descript for years and I needed every bit of this. I find Descript to be super buggy sometimes. But still my favorite video editing tool.
Glad it was helpful! And yea, i hear you, Descript has its nuances! It gets better the more you use it once you learn how to work around those bugs :)
Does descript allow voiceover kind of editing on the top of existing videos??
It does! It has built-in recording functionality so to do what youre describing, you'd just need to record your voiceover layer on top of your video
@@DescriptMastery I mean voice-over on the top of existing pre-recorded videos. Without using built-in recording mechanism.
yes, the built-in can do that. but if you wanted to use a separate tool, youd just need to add the audio file as a layer on top of your video
would someone like to tell me how to get my videos transfered from my android into Descript or even into Google Drive? I can't use any of these editing videos if I cannot get my recorded videos off my phone. I know it's probably basic to everyone but me. Please help or point me to some video. Thank you!
For Android, there is a computer app called Android file transfer to get it off your phone into your computer. You'll have to google it to find it and download it. For Google Drive, the easiest way to get files there is to have the app on your phone and set it to back up your photo gallery. I'll add this topic to my queue of video to make!
Thanks, the plans coverage was very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Ross, great summary of the updates.
My pleasure!
Very good explainer. So good I will rewatch it.
Thank you!
I appreciate a the videos with this new and improved version of Descript. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I find your live streams full of great information
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Long time user of Camtasia but switching the Descript due to inclusion of AI features. My content is tutorial based but I feel the script editing will be quicker for me.
Yea, I like Camtasia a lot for the preset recording settings and the fact that it does the automatic zooms and mouse clicks. But Descript is better for just about everything else. A few times I’ve made a recording in Camtasia then exported it to Descript to edit it from the transcript
I maintain a list of things I recommend at www.descriptmastery.com/recommendations
Is there a big change to being able to add manual comps now? I tried and it brought over the text but not the video. I did seperate the audio and video. Everytime I tried it only brought over the script?
What do you mean by manual comps? Are you asking about copying and pasting a composition into a different one? If so, it still works as before. If it's not, it could be because you're doing it with an AI speaker voice, is that the case?
@@DescriptMastery Creating a comp and then selecting a scene by clicking the scene thumb and pasting that into the comp only pastes the script, not the video. I did record the audio and video separately, so not sure if this effects it.
@@I_Mackenzie Gotcha. It should still work even if separated, that's weird that it's not....what about if you highlight the text in the transcript, copy it, and paste it into the new comp?
@@DescriptMastery Yeah, that seems to work.
@@I_Mackenzie Great! Hopefully that works for you. If you have to do it by copying the thumbnail, it may just be because the audio is separated as you suggested. It could also just be a bug and you just need to restart the app or something
Duck 🦆me, that’s an awesome feature. Will save me a ton of time as currently using keyframes 🤪
Absolutely, definitely easier than keyframes!
I just signed up to descript and need to learn how to use that sucker. It looks like there are lots of useful shortcuts. Thanks for the video. I subscribed, and I watch more.
Excellent! Welcome to Descript and to the channel. Feel free to drop any questions in the comments and I’ll help you there :) Descript has changed since I made this video so you may like my most recent tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/6BCJ3vwYhtY/v-deo.html
@@DescriptMastery Thanks so much, Ross.
Extraordinário a explicação. Obrigado por compartilhar conhecimento amigo.
I've recorded a script inside a project. Now all I have is the audio, but I want to transcribe it. How do I do this? I can't find the option anywhere to turn this script into text?
Go to your project files, go to recordings, find the track you recorded, then click the three dots on the right side of the file name, and click transcribe
@@DescriptMastery Thanks very much!
No problem! You can change your settings so that it will transcribe automatically but that's how you manually prompt it.
Great video, Ross! 🎉
Thanks! 😃
Dude! You CRUSHED! This is so well done!
Thanks man!
And thanks for the content idea!
CamT has some cool tools like mouse track, shame descript doesn't have this for tutorials then it would be an allrounder.
Yea the mouse track, mouse clicks, auto-zooms, so many things that Descript is lacking on! Hopefully someday it'll get those
Do any of your videos cover how to get your talking head in the bottom right corner?
I did this one recently: ua-cam.com/video/p7aQEvPoFt0/v-deo.html Let me know if that's what you're looking! I also haves going deeper on that topic
Ma,n did this ever come in clutch! Thanks so much.
glad to hear it! no problem!
To go deeper, check out the Descript Mastery Course: linke.to/course
this just saved me! thank you!
You're welcome! The UI has changed a bit since I made this but the principles are the same. Glad it helpful!
Hi Ross. Do you know if it's possible to improve the transcription accuracy? I've setup a speaker (by reading the short script they give you) using the same microphone I use when recording. However the transcription is quite inaccurate. For the most part I don't mind, but what's annoying is that almost every time I say "and" - Descript transcribes this as "uh" or "um". Then, if I use a command such "Remove retakes" it will strike through all of these "uh"s and "um"s - which are actually the word "and". So then I need to go through all of the "uh"s and un-ignore them. Is there anyway to improve the transcription? Or another trick that can solve this problem? Thanks for your great work 👍
Hmmm, that's a tough one. There is a transcription glossary to add uncommon words like names. But, for what you're describing I'm not sure other than to make sure your audio is as clear as possible and enunciate your words. I'll do some research on this and see if I can figure something out. Here's a video I did on the Transcription Glossary: ua-cam.com/video/cJ3Bz_CdA5E/v-deo.html
@@DescriptMastery Thanks Ross. I might just throw "and" in there and see what happens 😂. The "new speaker" script is very short - and doesn't seem to cover a great amount of language. Perhaps Descript should add a more accurate version with a much longer script. 👍
Can you show us how you put in your metadata please?
Are you asking about the metadata when exporting a project? I don't usually do anything with that. I usually publish directly to UA-cam for most things, and you can't change the metadata in that case. But what do you want to do with the metadata? If you let me know a bit about what you're using it for, I could make a video on this topic :)
You're the hero I needed. Thanks for clarifying how they are structured!
My pleasure!
This is awesome! Would you be willing to do a reaction video to some of the most popular pods intros? My First millions first!
Oh man, good idea! And you picked my favorite podcast to start haha
@danebauerle1 what do you think? ua-cam.com/video/FxZH56dHFsY/v-deo.html
You do a great job- thanks for your thoughts today. I am a huge fan of Descript. I have never seen a video designed to help a marketing person or b2b. Your convo on the Loom-like idea ( or any email marketing) could be a video hit---there isn't anything like that on utube. Finally, seeing your squadcast checklist, would you advise just using zoom for a basic interview. Say I am sending a link to capture a client testimonial------I don't know their experience level....just send a zoom?
Thanks for the content idea on the loom thing! And yes, if the video quality isn't super important, Zoom is fine. But it just reduces the video quality a lot, that's why pro podcasters wouldn't use it. But yea, lots to be said for keeping things familiar especially if it's not a very tech-savvy guest
The best piece of info I didn’t know I needed until I heard it. Thanks so much! Did not know Descript could do this.
Happy to help!
Are you recommending a better text to speech software without these weird limitations? There should not be the same restrictions and limitations on the creator plan as is on the free plan.
The gold standard for text to speech is Eleven Labs but that has it's own subscription. I'm not aware of any good free ones at the moment. And yea, it's disappointing they limit the AI tools like that for the Creator plan.
So greatly appreciated!
You are so welcome
That’s super helpful! My struggle is publishing a video to a URL. A 4 min video took more than an hour before the webpage could load/play it
Weird, that's way too long! Sometimes it gets hung if the original media files haven't uploaded properly. Could be that...
@@DescriptMastery yes, and sometimes I’ll have things uploading from 3 different projects at once. Annoying because Descript screen share videos are awesome for client feedback or demos, but can take hours to actually load on the URL
@@AaronMakelky huh yea, somethings not working properly there. Not sure why that is but if I run into it and figure out how to fix it, I'll let you know!
Thanks for the great tip, Ross 👍
No problem 👍
Cool hack, thank you!
No problem!
Thank you Ross
No problem!
Yay! Congratulations you hit 1k subscribers!! Love your channel. I’m still doing my free video with descript to determine if I’ll be using it. I’ll be watching this as I use it for my first video
Thank you! You're the first to mention it :) That's great you're giving it a shot! While the UI has completely changed, the functionality is more or less the same as what I show in this video so this should be pretty much everything you need to get through your first project.
This was so good thank you!
You're so welcome!
Exactly what I needed!! Thank you!!
No problem! I actually missed something in this video. From the Quick Recorder you can click the circle button next to the 'X' and that'll turn it into a circle too. Easier than what I showed haha
great content! thanks - what camera do you use? happen to be a dji product? are you able to use it as a webcam? i don't want to take up my precious few hours in descript by recording outside of the platform then uploading. instead, i'm looking for a good webcam (currently using iphone). any help is appreciated! see you in the next live
How did you know? haha yes it's the new Pocket 3. I only used it in the outdoor opening scene, everything else is my MacBook's webcam. But yes, you can use it as a webcam though you need third party software to get the 4k capabilities so I don't use it much as a webcam. I'd imagine there'll be a firmware/software update that makes it smoother
EXCELLENT
Thank you! Cheers!
thanks a ton. your explanations are so thorough, and so practical.
You're very welcome!
Camtasia does not offer perpetual licenses anymore.....
So I heard...this video didn't age well haha.
Is that Audio at -3db the peak level? Also, does the AI feature have the ability to create a sound effect if you describe what you want? Thanks.
No, you can change audio to anything you want i.e. 0, +5, +30 etc. And no unfortunately, there is no way to AI-generate an audio sound effect yet in Descript.
how to fade out the audio on a youtube short video created on descript?
Here's a video I did on fades and keyframes: ua-cam.com/video/B68HjmB1xCw/v-deo.html
Nice overview. I still prefer descript. Can you pls go over the new animation effects in the latest update? I've been waiting a while for that function. I was thinking about creating them in canva but would be much quicker here.
Thanks! And thank you for the topic idea. I'll add that to the queue! I've busy working on an updated version of the course but I'll get back to UA-cam in a couple weeks.
This was so helpful, thank you! I started my channel just a few months ago and learned to edit with descript from scratch and the tool helped me so much 🫶
You're so welcome!
Just fyi as a Camtasia user for years they just announced that they are going the subscription path as of October 2024 unless you already have a purchase/maintenance arrangement by that time. They will the. ‘Grandfather’ you within that program for 5 years. Also, regarding the slow video processing, if you set the video media to ‘proxy’ it creates a temporary lower quality version that allows you to work a lot faster. Maybe not as fast as Descript but a lot more usable.
Yes, I saw that about the subscription. Thank you for adding that here, that’ll help people finding this video! And excellent tip regarding using proxy! I will try that.
I have just noticed that as well. Camtasia's prices are too exaggerated now with the yearly subscription. Anyway, the problem is that they are alone in the market for a certain level of requirements. I have just tried to use Descript, but I don't like it. byt he way, do you have any suggestion Eric? (Any similar software to Camtasia with Perpetual license. Not Movavi please :) )
