How to edit video in Descript - step by step tutorial for beginners

How to edit your video in Descript - step by step tutorial for beginners The Power of Video Content In today’s digital landscape, video is a crucial component for building your visibility online. People want to work with someone they trust. And I believe video is the quickest way to build that trust. Once you have your video, what comes next? Editing. We use Descript for the initial editing step, and here is how. Getting started with Descript To begin editing with Descript, visit their website for free account: https://get.descript.com/g3t1q1xz7lyq On the right hand top corner, select NEW PROJECT. Click on the Upload File and upload your raw unedited video file While the video is uploading, Descript starts to create the transcript from your words. This can take a moment depending on how long your video is. A pop up screen appears asking you if you want to name the speakers on the video – this is not vital, so it really depends on each user. Starting to Edit your Video Underneath your video, you will see the transcript. To edit the video, simply EDIT THE TEXT. Select words to delete. Or remove filler words with the Descript tool on the right hand side menu. Remove Filler Words Add Captions Always add captions to your video if posting to social media. On the right hand side menu, select Captions. Choose your captions of choice and wait for the software to add them to your video. These tools are designed to aid those who might not have professional editing experience or the budget to hire outside help. Video Editing Packages for LinkedIn - https://louisebrogan.com/the-visibility-package/ Publish and Repurpose Once your video is ready, you can download it by clicking on EXPORT. If you click on Publish, this does NOT download your video file. You can also create short clips of your video by clicking on ‘Underlord’. The most useful area on this right hand menu is the Publish box. We use this to generate shownotes for our podcast and to get a guide for YouTube shownotes. Always trust your own skill levels and instinct – if you want to rewrite this for your own audience, please do.
