Descript

Come join my team at Descript! I’m hiring a Content Strategist and Social Media Manager, remote or in SF. We’re a big on the mindset: do the strategy well so you can do the creative part with freedom and earnestness. Looking for a Social Media Manager who has a great sense for what works in spaces like this, knows how to scale employee advocacy, and isn’t afraid to be on camera (+ help others join them!). Likewise, seeking a Content Strategist who can find the story in any data or product doc, has strong ability to meet a variety of audiences, and probably loves what people used to call “writing”. Those don’t fit? Our marketing team is also hiring a Head of Enterprise Marketing, Field Marketing Manager, and PMM. A couple more roles are in the works, so reach out if you market things for a living, like a challenge, or have scathing feedback about Descript and working here would be the only way to convey the true weight of your frustration (I won’t give you a job but I will listen and nod.) descript.com/careers

Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 5 this morning. It's already live in Descript. You can pick it in Underlord and put the newest model to work on the edit you were going to redo anyway. Same co-editor. Newer brain. Available now.

Beauty filters have a real problem: Crank one up and everyone looks like the same airbrushed mannequin. Fine for a selfie. Not for a sales call, a webinar, or a talking head you're putting your name on. Skin smoothing in Descript has sliders instead of one blunt filter. Soften the under eyes, ease the forehead, leave the laugh lines where they are, you set how far it goes, region by region. You record normally, then add it in the edit. No makeup, no perfect lighting, no reshoot. Press play to see it in action.

Same format, same edits, every week. The content changes but the work is the same, and still needs a person clicking through, task-by-task. This session turns your production workflow into an automated pipeline you set up once. Then it runs without you with the Descript MCP. You'll leave knowing: ✅Which of your repeatable workflows is worth automating ✅ How to set a trigger that makes clips while you do something else (or nothing) ✅ How to run import, edit, and publish as one pass, no code Automation only works on a workflow you’ve got dialed-in. If you're still fine-tuning, start with Session 1 — that's where you learn to build. This is where you get it to run itself.

Now you can make videos without leaving ChatGPT. Ask it to: Remove filler words, level the audio, cut your reels. Or ask for a cut-down of your webinar, a follow-up email based on the transcript of your last sales call, and timestamps for every feature mention. You talk to ChatGPT. Descript does the editing. https://bit.ly/4vlQJUA

Make video without leaving Claude or ChatGPT The video you keep meaning to make already exists somewhere. A call recording. A doc. A brief sitting in a tab. Now Descript works inside Claude or ChatGPT. Whatever you're already working on can become a video without opening another tool, and you can hand off the tedious parts and let them run while you do something else. In this session we set it up live and make video and clips from a real recording, start to finish.

You've got recordings you keep meaning to turn into clips They're still sitting there because every one is your time drained, edit by manual edit Thursday at noon PT Teddy Clegg + Sam Drazin & Aaron Makelky, M.A. Ed. are showing how to hand that off to Claude or ChatGPT and let Descript run in the background https://lnkd.in/gNdF2QfF

Remote Interviews: From scheduling to finished cut with one tool The session ends. Then comes the work nobody planned for. File transfers. Renaming. Syncing. Importing. Eventually, finally, editing. And before any of that — finding a time, sending the invite, making sure everyone has the right link. Every recording your team makes pays this tax. The more you produce, the more it costs. This session shows you how teams schedule, record, and edit — client stories, podcasts, interviews, and internal comms — entirely inside Descript, with the new scheduling feature and shared workspace built into Rooms. You'll learn how to: ✅ Schedule sessions directly from Descript with calendar invites ✅ Run clean recordings without a studio setup ✅ Keep your whole team aligned in a shared Rooms workspace ✅ Go from recording to first cut without leaving Descript ✅ Edit faster with separate tracks per speaker
