You thought of a better intro after you stopped recording. Everyone does. Type it in and Descript reads it in your voice. That voice now runs on Eleven v4, our new default AI speech model, so your accent and pacing come along too.

Claude can make animations now. Gorgeous ones. Then you sit there going “okay, cool… now what?” Now you send it to Descript and add a voiceover, music, captions and stock footage. Claude for the motion, Descript for the rest. bit.ly/3UrptYt

We don’t think your video is trash. You might, though. Starting today, you can trash a project and change your mind for 30 days. Put it in. Take it out. Put it back in. We’re not judging.

A branded title screen, an animated infographic, a closing bumper - these “nice to haves” end up lending your content additional authority, making it look like you pay a team to make your videos even though it’s just lil old you. With Claude Motion (in beta on Team/ Enterprise), you can make those assets yourself and bring your motion artifacts directly into Descript to make your story more powerful. (and totally 100% fr our creative director rocky is out sick today so I had to make my own digital assets for this last minute launch. Oh now, whatever shall I do? Thanks @claudeai!)

@descript knows how to throw an interactive event I swear to god

Just caught Descript CEO Laura Burkhauser’s opening at Make Content, Not Excuses. Clear, practical, and actually useful — not another “build in public” talk. Left wanting to ship a video before lunch. #SFTechWeek @descript

Most event recap videos look the same: a smiling crowd shot, a lanyard, someone saying "business impact." Ours is Marcello, with his iPod Classic, wandering around Fount Studios looking for drumsticks and pointing out the obvious. This was our customer event during Podcast Movement week in New York. The next one won't be any stiffer. You should come.

Underlord has more brainpower now. Paid users can check out Opus 5.5 in Descript.

The Hit Factory has hosted Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, and, this week, Descript CEO Laura Burkhauser. Our panel spent 45 minutes on what a podcast is actually worth. This morning, we cut the clip to two minutes in Descript. More from Podcast Movement next week.

Wondering what an MCP is? Many of us are, including the social media manager that wrote this post. MCP is the USB-C of AI: one standard that plugs in everywhere, instead of every app inventing its own cable. Plug in Descript and Claude or ChatGPT will import your raw footage, remove the filler words, run Studio Sound, and export. You never open the app. What an MCP actually is, in under three minutes.
