If you want to trim your YouTube videos, you’re in the right place. Descript’s AI-powered video editing tools let you cut full, raw footage into tight videos in just a few clicks.
Get started ->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.
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.
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.
Edit YouTube videos like a doc
Forget fiddling with the editing timeline to make precise cuts. Just highlight the text, hit backspace, and your video adjusts instantly. You can even add stock media, animations, and captions.
Automatically cut and create clips with AI
Let AI find the best moments in your YouTube video to create ready-to-post social media clips in seconds. Just specify the number of clips, duration, topic, and layout, and your very own AI Underlord takes care of the rest.
Publish directly to YouTube and more
Go from editing videos to uploading them directly to supported platforms like YouTube and Google Drive without leaving Descript. No more juggling multiple tools and manual uploads.
Descript is an AI-powered audio & video editing tool that lets you edit podcasts and videos like a doc.
Editing is as easy as a doc with Descript. You just delete the parts of the transcript you don’t want and watch the magic happen.
Let Descript cut out all your “um”s, “uh”s, and “like”s with the click of a button.
A single click will make your audio sound like it was recorded in a studio. No more background noise, static, or echo.
