How to cut a YouTube video

  • 1Upload your YouTube video

    Drop your video file into Descript or paste in a YouTube link to upload it to a new project. Descript will automatically generate a transcript that stays synced with your timeline. 

  • 2Cut, split, & trim via the transcript

    Once transcription is complete, all you have to do is delete the sections of text you don’t want. Descript will cut those sections from the video without losing any quality. You can also split your video into standalone clips by right-clicking and duplicating your selection to a new composition.

  • 3Share your video

    When you’ve trimmed as much as you want, you can directly publish your video to your YouTube channel and other supported platforms, or download your video file to upload to TikTok, Instagram, etc.
