You have a unique and very clear way of explaining. So impressive. I didn't know about Descript but now I think I will watch your videos and learn about it because this one was sooo great!
Thanks a lot 😊. Nice of you to comment! I appreciate you spending time on the channel!
Dude thank you. I used descript solely for recording. I didnt know this existed lmao. You are the best!
Thought this was gonna be about Capcut. Never heard of Descript. Loved the video, gonna try it out, thanks so much! Keep up the good work!
No problem! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Best of luck with Descript! It's a great tool.
This video is more useful than Descripts own videos - Thanks for this!

Hey Angelo, thanks for watching! Appreciate the comment 🙏🏾
Great job with this video. I have Descript and love how Alex does his videos but always wondered what tool he used. This video helped tremendously.
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful! Descript is great. There are other tools that can achieve the same result. i just have found Descript to be really useful for other types of videos too.
Well done, and most helpful. Let's see more!
Thank you!

Thank you! This was very helpful!
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial thanks James. You are a natural. Very easy to listen to while making the content easy to understand. I am wondering if you know how to shorten the length of time a caption stays on the screen. I have been looking online for a while, but can't find an explanation of how to stop an unrelated caption from the preceding part of the video appearing on the next section of a video. It usually only stays for a second before the related caption appears, but I'd like to remove it altogether. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you Mel! I appreciate your comment and kind words! As far as editing the length of the captions, it is possible! If you are looking at the timeline at the bottom of the window, there should be a row that shows your captions. To adjust the length (on either side) you can press and HOLD the Command Key (for Mac) or the Control Key (I assume for Windows) to toggle on a tool that you can then click and drag at the end of one of the words to the desired length. I can record a TH-cam Short for this as well. Hope this helps in the meantime!

Thanks boss!
Great video, James. Many thanks!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
@@createcontently JMes, I had Descript on one screen and yours in the other. It was like having you over my shoulder walking me through it all ❤️
@@RobKristjansson HAHA I love it man! The power of video! Glad i could help my friend! More Descript content coming soon!
Aaah so this what those Tiktok videos use.
Yes it is! haha Lots of other apps can do the same, this is just one of those!
I think they use something better. This one doesn't allow you to do mixed sizes and colours
Thank you bro this was very informative
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful!
Thanks very much for the video. I am using PC and couldn't open the emoji panel at all. :( Is it possible on PC?
thank youuuu - very clear!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Nice! Thank you, subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Great content brotha! Keep it up!! 💯
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏾. Appreciate the comment!
@@createcontently You have any experience in social media management?
Thanks for this tutorial! Is it possible to add my own script and just use Descript to sync the text with my voice?
No problem! Thanks for watching. As far as I know, Descript has an overdub feature that "clones" your voice. If you type text it can speak for you by generating an AI audio voice. It's not perfect, but can be helpful if you need to "overdub" a word or short phrase. It also requires you to have enough of your own voice to sample. So you may need to have several minutes of your own voice uploaded in order for it to work.
This was so helpful! Thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful!Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been using Descript lately, still I’m borderline about signing up for the pay version or not, do you know what other alternative to Descript are there which are also as good or better?
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching! I haven't found anything as good and as similar to Descript. I do be Adobe Premiere (popular video editing software) is planning to release a feature that will allow auto-transcriptions. However, Adobe Premiere does have a steep learning curve.
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

Yessir! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks, James
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Nice Tutorial btw, is it free to use app?
Yes, it is. They have a free plan. It gives you 1 hour of transcription time per month!
@@createcontently any other alternative? coz 1 hour for a month is less.
Very nice thank you
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Awww man I was hoping no one would no about this lol
LOL thats funny! I was thinking the same thing for a while too. It's a good platform. I think it could become really popular.

What do non mac users use for emoji shortcut?
export only you tube and few other adobe pro etc not there, moreover you tube preview and sometimes video not getting posted , download video takes years
thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the channel
OMG James... Thank you... I just started and my video test has captions. How I remove it please?
Hi Katia! You are welcome! I believe the easiest way would be to click and select the captions in the preview window (the actually video on the right side of the screen). Once clicked, it should highlight with a blue box outline. From there you should be able to hit the delete key and delete the captions. Hope that helps!
Just checking - on the paid plan or free plan?
I am on the paid plan
James, I cant get the Karoke feature to work, is that only going to work on the PRO version ?
Good question Brian! According to Descript's website, it looks like all plans including the free plan includes dynamic captions. So I would think this feature is enabled. I would try making sure that you highlight the text before selecting captions. That be a fix. Sometimes I forget to do that first! 😅
@@createcontently ya I have tired everything to make the Karoke feature work but its not even there
Got it! By chance are you using a Classic Project? (as opposed to a Descript Storyboard project?). The "new" Descript uses Storyboard projects that have a few more features but does look different. The "karaoke" selection is in the Descript Storyboard project type. If you are working with a Classic project, the try enabling "word-level automation". That is essential the karaoke effect. I can do a video on this to help if that still doesn't fix it!
@@createcontently No Im using the Descript Trial, right from the Descript website
Yes its fast, but it doesnt enlarge the font. But this is super fast compared to manually doing it
Yes correct. I am hoping through an update they will add some more features to customize the fonts/add more effects to the captions. :)
Very useful !
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
How to put 2 line in the one screen ?? When in push enter It create new screen!!!
Super helpful, but I don't see the karaoke option in my settings :(
Muchas gracias !!
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
ok I figured it out, the button was hiding... so how do I now save my Captions template ?
Oh great! Nice! As far as saving a template, this can explain it well: help.descript.com/hc/en-us/articles/10255964343053-Creating-custom-templates
@@createcontently Thanks James
I'm confused of their pricing. How much is your plan?
The plan I pay for is the Pro plan at $30/month. I believe the creator plan is $15/month. Basically comes down to home many hours of content you plan to transcribe.
when i try to drop any of my files in it says "this file has multiple channels please convert it to mono/stereo and try again..How do i do that?? somone help plese!! lol
I think I know what might be happening. What device are you using to record? I believe it might be a device that has more that 2 audio channels.
I HAVE A QUESTION 🙋🏽♀️
My video is in Portuguese, and I downloaded the app thinking it could help me add subtitles in English. But I don’t know how to add/type the content in English so I can have my American viewers also understand what I am talking about. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME, please.
Good question, there should be a way to select what language you want your subtitles to be. When I first upload a video it asks me what language I need. I always select english.
Does it work on a Samsung tablet ?
I don't think so. I believe it only works on a PC or Mac computer.
Doesn't PremPro Beta do all this now?
I use Final Cut for editing vs Premeire, but I have seen a couple videos showing some new features inside of Premiere that can do some cool stuff like this.
If I was a user of Premiere than I would definitely check that out. But for most non-video editors. I would start with something like Descript. It would a much shorter learning curve IMO.
I am looking for English tutorials
How do you make the text ALL CAPS?
Through the website that i attached to you, you can easily make text all caps
@@samehsayed8932 Huh? Is there no way to do this in Descript. Every time I try to paste in new text (in all caps) it creates a new scene. Really frustrating. How can there not be an all caps setting for the text editor?
Yes I do wish there was a setting to go ALL CAPS. If you choose a font type that has all caps then it will work. That's how I have been able to work around it. "The Bold Font" is one that has all caps built in and is used by popular creators like Alex Hormozi, Grant Cardone, Ryan Pineda, etc.
@@createcontently Oh, yeah. Dammit, I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks for the tip.
man for a video editing tutorial this dragged on so long tbh
is it free??
useles
is this free
I believe there is a free version that you can download and use to try it out. It is limited in how many minutes of transcription you can use though.
it's pretty laggy
Sometimes I will have to let it “load” after it has created the transcription. Basically it creates an optimized version of the video file to run smoother. It plays a lot better after waiting a few minutes, especially if it is a higher quality video file.
