Descript has evolved a ton since it first launched on PH six years ago. This new expansion, Underlord (great name, btw), is another step toward the video-creation singularity. 😛
Descript's Underlord is one of the best application of AI so far. Its ability to take out fillers and fix gaze direction is really cool ❤️

I make a podcast and at least one short-form video every single day. 7 days a week. Descript is my editor of choice as it makes my high output very seamless. Thank you @andrewmason and team.
Whitney Steele
@andrewmason @edward_sturm we're so glad it's working for you. Can't wait to hear what you think about Underlord and the new UI!

Descript's new Underlord tool sounds incredibly powerful. How does its AI specifically help in the video editing process?
Whitney Steele
@memphys_sk the short version is that Underlord can tackle a bunch of the more tedious editing tasks like removing your retakes, removing filler words, and creating clips for social media. It can also do some really eye-popping things (pun intended) like rotating your eyeballs so it looks like you were looking at the camera, even if you're reading off a script.

We use Descript for our Podcast, I think it's awesome compared to Riverside etc, especially at the price. It's sometimes buggy, but they "move fast and break things". I dont think we would have had the time to start an podcast but for the tool. Not sure if I like the name underlord though, I get the want to differentiate from "co-pilot, assistant" etc but Spielberg or Quentin may have been friendlier names.
Whitney Steele
@ty_robb appreciate the thoughtful feedback! We talked about this during the live event, but if you haven't yet, give the web app a try and see if it's more stable for you. Let us know what you think!
Tyrone Robb
@whitneyds I will have a look. I saw the desk app is upgraded it looks nice.

@ty_robb how do you use descript for multiple guest with multiple angles. Do you record directly into descrip or record elsewhere and pull footage into descript. What about remote guest
Tyrone Robb
@christopher_washington4 they bought squadcast which is great for remote guests. You could log in with seperate emails (Christopher 1, and Christory 2) for each camera then when editing mute one audio track, at that point you could pick either camera to focus on. It's a bit hacky but would be relatively easy to do. Could be weird for your guests to see you twice. Ours is relatively simple, usually only one guest, one camera each. I have had 6 people before but i was not a podcast so we didn't edit it.

Love this approach of keeping the human in the driver seat and having AI as the underlord to assist :)
Whitney Steele
@aluebs let's be honest, AI is not ready to take the wheel
Shushant Lakhyani
Oh wow, this looks good. Are you planning to add more features here like realistic AI video avatars?
Whitney Steele
@shushant_lakhyani stay tuned...
