Descript
AI-powered video and podcast editing — the 'one-person studio' is now real. Claude Opus 4.6 now powers Underlord, their AI editing assistant (February 2026): B-roll placement accuracy jumped from 60% to 92%, filler word removal improved 43%, overall task completion up 30%. Kling AI v3 and Sora 2 are now available directly inside the editing timeline. Record, transcribe, edit, add AI visuals, dub to 20 languages, and export — one tool, one subscription. Media Library added March 2026 for reusable assets across projects.
Pricing: Hobbyist $24/month | Business $33/month | AI credits metered separately
Best For
- Podcast editing with near-complete AI handling of B-roll, filler words, and chapters
- One-person video studio: record → AI edit → translate → export in one platform
- Multilingual video with lip-synced translations in 20+ languages
- Teams wanting Kling AI v3 or Sora 2 video generation inside their editing timeline
- Content teams building reusable asset libraries (Media Library, March 2026)
Q'dUp Pro Tip: Claude Opus 4.6 powering Underlord is a genuine leap — 92% B-roll accuracy means your editor is doing almost all the heavy lifting. AI credits are metered separately and features like eye contact correction, Studio Sound, and avatar generation burn through them. High-volume teams should audit credit usage carefully. Kling Avatar v2 inside Descript is convincing but credit-intensive — budget for it before committing.
