Pourquoi faire confiance à ce guide ?
I have used Descript for two years across podcasts, client tutorials, and YouTube uploads. Every step here comes from real projects, not a press kit.

Descript is a video editor and audio editor built around a transcript.
You edit audio and video by editing words, which is why beginners pick it up quickly.
It is a powerful tool for producing high quality content in one audio video workflow.
Most people stop at cutting texte and never touch the advanced features.
This guide walks through all nine, step by step, with screenshots and pro tips.
The goal is a faster editing process that still protects your creative vision.
Description du tutoriel
This How to Use Descript tutorial covers setup first, then every feature, from text based editing to AI Green Screen.

Description
Edit video by editing text. Descript transcribes your files, strips background noise with Studio Sound, and cuts filler words in one click. Start on the free plan, no card needed.
Premiers pas avec Descript
Setup takes about three minutes and only happens once.
Here is how Descript works in a real project:
Passons maintenant en revue chaque étape.
Étape 1 : Créez votre compte
Go to the Descript website and click Sign Up.
Email, Google, or single sign-on all work for a new account.
✓ Point de contrôle: Vérifiez votre boîte de réception pour recevoir un courriel de confirmation.
Step 2: Install the Desktop App
Descript works in Chrome, but the Mac and Windows apps handle large video files better.
There is no mobile app, so plan to edit at a desk.
Voici à quoi ressemble l'espace de travail :

✓ Point de contrôle: You see the script editor on the right and the scene rail below.
Étape 3 : Créez votre premier projet
Click New Project, then upload an audio or video file to start.
Projects hold big productions, and compositions hold alternate cuts of the same recording.
✅ Terminé : Vous êtes prêt à utiliser n'importe quelle fonctionnalité ci-dessous.
How to Use Descript Text-Based Editor
Édition basée sur le texte lets you cut audio and video files by deleting words in a transcript.
Text based editing is the reason most people switch to Descript. Delete a sentence in the script editor and the matching footage disappears from the timeline.
Étape 1 : Ouvrez votre relevé de notes
Import a video file and wait for the transcript to load.
The script editor opens beside your timeline, and it reads like a word document.
Step 2: Delete the Bad Takes
Highlight the words you want gone and press delete.
Voici à quoi cela ressemble :

✓ Point de contrôle: Deleted words show as a strikethrough line, and the video skips them.
Step 3: Play It Back
Press space to review the cut before you export anything.
✅ Résultat : Your first text based editing pass is done in minutes, not hours.
💡 Conseil de pro : Enable Ignore Deleted Text to hide old lines and keep the script clean while editing.
Comment utiliser le clonage vocal par IA de Descript
IA Clonage vocal lets you fix a flubbed line by typing it in your own voice.
AI voice cloning trains on a short recording of your own voice. Descript then speaks new words for you when a re-record is not practical.
Step 1: Train Your Voice
Record the consent script Descript gives you, roughly ten minutes of clean audio.
Step 2: Type the Fix
Click into the transcript and type the corrected words.
Voici à quoi cela ressemble :

✓ Point de contrôle: The new words appear in the waveform with a small AI badge.
Step 3: Blend the Audio
Adjust pacing so the generated audio matches the original audio around it.
✅ Résultat : One typed line replaces a full re-record session.
💡 Conseil de pro : Train voice cloning in the same room and mic you always use, or the patch will stand out.
Comment utiliser Descript Studio Sound
Son studio lets you remove background noise and echo from any audio file.
Studio Sound is the fastest way to make a laptop mic sound close to a booth. It strips room echo, hiss, and background noise in one pass.
Step 1: Select the Track
Click the audio layer you want to clean up.
Step 2: Toggle Studio Sound
Turn it on in the right hand panel and set the strength slider.
Voici à quoi cela ressemble :

✓ Point de contrôle: Room echo drops away and the voice sits forward in the mix.
Step 3: Compare Both Versions
Toggle the effect off and on to hear the difference.
✅ Résultat : Rough audio files now sound like planned studio takes.
💡 Conseil de pro : Keep the slider near 70 percent, since full strength can hollow out a deep voice.
How to Use Descript Filler Word Remover
Suppression des mots de remplissage lets you delete every um and uh across a recording with one click.
Descript tags filler words in the transcript automatically. One click clears them from the whole project instead of hunting through a waveform.
Step 1: Open the Edit Menu
Choose Remove Filler Words from the editing tools.
Step 2: Review the Highlights
Descript underlines each filler word it found in the script.
Voici à quoi cela ressemble :

✓ Point de contrôle: The word count drops and the pacing tightens noticeably.
Step 3: Remove Them All
Confirm the removal, then spot check two or three sentences.
✅ Résultat : A rambling take turns into a clean cut without manual trimming.
💡 Conseil de pro : Leave a few natural pauses in podcasts, because zero filler words can sound robotic.
How to Use Descript Multitrack Editor and Collaborator
Multitrack Editing and Collaboration lets you edit separate audio tracks for each guest and share the project with your team.
Every speaker keeps separate audio tracks, so you can duck one mic without touching another. Teammates can open the same project and comment in real time.
Step 1: Import Every Track
Drag and drop each guest recording into one composition.
Step 2: Label the Speakers
Assign names so the transcript splits cleanly by person.
Voici à quoi cela ressemble :

✓ Point de contrôle: Each speaker shows on their own lane in the timeline.
Étape 3 : Invitez votre équipe
Share a link and set edit or comment access for each person.
✅ Résultat : Multi guest video projects stay organised from raw files to final cut.
💡 Conseil de pro : Business accounts add single sign-on, which is worth it once more than five rédacteurs share the account.
Comment utiliser Descript Screen Recorder
Enregistreur d'écran lets you capture screen recordings and webcam video without a second app.
The built in screen recorder captures your display, mic, and camera together. Each source lands as its own layer for editing.
Étape 1 : Ouvrir le panneau d’enregistrement
Click New Recording and pick screen, camera, or both.
Step 2: Hit the Record Button
Press the record button and run through your demo.
Voici à quoi cela ressemble :

✓ Point de contrôle: Your screen recording appears in the project with a ready transcript.
Étape 3 : Arrêtez-vous et transcrivez
End the video recording and Descript starts the transcript on its own.
✅ Résultat : A tutorial goes from capture to editable script in under two minutes.
💡 Conseil de pro : Record at 1080p for tutorials, since text on screen turns mushy at lower settings.
Comment utiliser le doublage de descript
doublage lets you patch a mistake mid sentence without re-recording the whole clip.
Overdub is the repair tool that sits on top of voice cloning. It swaps a wrong number or name inside a finished audio file, and it doubles as text to speech in your own voice.
Step 1: Find the Error
Search the transcript for the wrong word.
Step 2: Type the Replacement
Select Overdub and type what you meant to say.
✓ Point de contrôle: The corrected phrase plays in your cloned voice at matching volume.
Step 3: Check the Seams
Listen to the sentence twice and nudge the timing if needed.
✅ Résultat : One wrong stat no longer costs you a full re-record.
💡 Conseil de pro : Overdub short phrases only, because long generated passages lose natural emphasis.
How to Use Descript Automatic Transcriptor
Transcription automatique lets you automatically transcribe audio and video content in 22 languages.
Descript will automatically transcribe anything you upload, including German, Spanish, and French. Accuracy is strong, though names and heavy accents still need a read through.
Étape 1 : Téléchargez votre fichier
Drop in an audio or video file from your drive.
Step 2: Pick the Language
Choose from 22 supported languages before processing starts.
Voici à quoi cela ressemble :

✓ Point de contrôle: Timestamped text appears next to the waveform within a minute or two.
Step 3: Fix the Names
Use Correct Text to fix spellings the outil d'IA missed.
✅ Résultat : You get a searchable script you can also publish as show notes.
💡 Conseil de pro : Add proper nouns to the vocabulary list first, and transcription accuracy jumps on the next file.
How to Edit Descript AI Green Screen
Écran vert IA lets you remove your background with no physical green screen.
AI Green Screen cuts you out of a messy room in one click. Pair it with Eye Contact and a talking head clip starts to look deliberate.
Step 1: Select the Camera Layer
Click your webcam clip in the timeline.
Step 2: Apply Green Screen
Turn on the effect and choose a colour, image, or blur.
✓ Point de contrôle: Your background swaps immédiatement while you stay sharp in frame.
Step 3: Refine the Edges
Adjust the threshold until hair edges stop flickering.
✅ Résultat : A kitchen table shoot passes for a planned set.
💡 Conseil de pro : Even lighting on your face beats any slider, so face a window before you hit record.
Description des astuces et raccourcis des pros
After two years of daily editing, these are the shortcuts I actually use.
Raccourcis clavier
| Action | Raccourci |
|---|---|
| Play or pause | Espace |
| Split at cursor | Cmd / Ctrl + E |
| Ignore selected text | Cmd / Ctrl + Shift + E |
| Start a new recording | Cmd / Ctrl + Shift + 2 |
Fonctionnalités cachées que la plupart des gens ignorent
- Underlord: Le assistant editor takes plain language prompts, drafts social posts, and generates B roll. Descript markets it as apocalyptic power at inhuman speed, which is marketing, but it is quick.
- Eye Contact: Redirects your gaze to camera when you were reading a script, so a scripted take still feels live.
- Timeline export: Send an XML to Final Cut Pro or Premiere when a client wants colour grading elsewhere.
- Animated légendes: Pull captions and overlays straight from the transcript to lift video content on social.
Décrire les erreurs courantes à éviter
Mistake #1: Editing before you fix the transcript
❌ Faux : Cutting clips while names are still spelled wrong in the script.
✅ À droite : Correct the transcript first. Every later edit points at the right words, and your captions ship clean.
Mistake #2: Running Studio Sound on everything
❌ Faux : Applying full strength Studio Sound to music beds and room tone.
✅ À droite : Use it on voice only. Music processed as speech turns thin and warbly fast.
Mistake #3: Exporting before checking the free plan limits
❌ Faux : Finishing a long video, then finding the export is capped at 720p.
✅ À droite : Check your tier first. The free plan gives one watermark free video export per month at 720p.
Description Dépannage
Problem: Transcription accuracy drops on interviews
Cause: Two people on one mic, heavy accents, or background noise in the room.
Réparer: Record separate audio tracks per speaker, run Studio Sound to remove background noise, then transcribe again.
Problem: Voice cloning sounds flat
Cause: Training audio was recorded on a different mic or in a louder room.
Réparer: Retrain with ten clean minutes from your usual setup, and keep overdubbed patches under one sentence.
Problem: Exports fail or stall
Cause: A 4K video recording plus l'IA effects can exhaust local memory during rendering.
Réparer: Close other apps, export at 1080p, or split long video projects into shorter compositions.
📌 Note: If none of these fix your issue, contact Descript support through the in app chat.
