The Descript Video And Audio Editing Tool
from ArtsyCourseExperts Tech Podcast · host ArtsyCourseExperts
Descript is a video editing tool that allows users to edit audio and text transcriptions of their videos. It also includes features such as automatic transcription, editing transcriptions directly, and automatically eliminating unwanted words from your video while producing a smooth output. It is designed to make it easier to edit videos just by editing your words. In this lesson, we will look at the Descript video editing tool, how it can help you achieve your desired result, and how you can edit away your audio and video bloopers. These are some of the potential problems that online course teachers have to deal with when they don’t edit their videos: • Without a tool to assist with the online video process, the quality and consistency of the video and audio may vary significantly • Editing your videos manually can be a very time-consuming process, especially for longer videos • It can be really slow and costly to get rid of unwanted filler words like ums and uhs • We may not realize it until we listen again, but we often repeat words as we gather our thoughts • You may not appeal to your widest audience if you don’t transcribe your videos for subtitles and captions • Without an overdub feature, you may have to record some or the entire videos all over again Here are some final tips for using Descript video editing tool: • Get rid of filler words automatically, you’ll be surprised how many filler words you say • Get rid of unwanted and repeated words by simply ignoring and striking words in your transcript • The trim tool removes empty sound at the beginning and end of your video • Reduce all your long pauses to shorter delays like periods • Use the overdub feature to change or swap out a few words here and there • Use the studio sound feature to remove background noise and unwanted echos For more details and tips check out the full writeup at: https://www.artsycourseexperts.com/descript-video-and-audio-editing/ If you have any feedback or questions, let us know in the comments.
