Descript's text-based video editor now lets you write scripts as you go

Descript aims to simplify video editing by making it a matter of tweaking transcripts, but now you don't even need to have ready-made audio. The company has redesigned Descript with a new interface that includes a writing tool. You can write a script in Overdub on the fly and either use text-to-speech to vocalize your narration or replace it with your own recording later. This could mainly be helpful if your content doesn't have any spoken-word material, but it might also come in handy if you're not comfortable speaking. The app as a whole now centers on "Scenes," or distinct visual segments (pictured above).
